Weeeeee :) June 5th rides
Weeee Wahooo Weeeeee :) I love hills :)
I ventured to the hills (we call a specific area in the outskirsts of perth "the hills"-where most mtn bike trails are) today & had a ton o fun. Ok, i'd rather be on me mtn bike wandering on some hills or singletrack but I just had to do this ride.
I changed from a double to a compact double last month or so & have been playing on as many hills in the city to test it out. It's just easier to ride & can spin pleasantly rather than it being a chore. I mainly sit in my saddle as I use it as training for going uphill on me mtn bike. So far, it's worked but think I need to now work on pushing a smidgen bit harder. As long as me hammies agree!
Ahhh..gotta love hills :D
Ditto on spinning up the hills!
Changed out the back gears from a 12/27 to a 13/30 so that I can survive the hills out here. We picked up the bike from the LBS and went out for a quick, but very hilly 10 miles. What a difference the gearing made! I've never been fast up the hills, but was always in agony - mashing, lactic acid... Today, I was spinning up a hill that last week tried to kill me :D:D:D
