Howdy.......Just had to share a milestone with other new riders on TE: Did my first 20-mile ride today! And felt terrific at the end! (Not to mention starving....Fortunately I had some leftover Halloween candy in my truck...)
I started riding last February after a 10-year break and have been slowly building up mileage by riding 4 to 5 days a week. I did two 16 mile rides in the past couple of weeks and thought I'd push myself a little to see if I could hit 20 today. It WAS a push but not as hard as I thought it might be. My only disappointment was that the cadence part of the Cateye cyclocomputer I installed last night didn't kick in. Probably just needs a little adjusting. But it measured my mph and distance jusssst fine!!Next goal: a 25-miler two weekends from now.
Thanks for all of the inspiration I get here on TE---from vets and newbies alike!
