first real ride on my Raleigh hybrid, i rode 10 miles with my DH on the burke-gilman trail. I had no idea what it should feel like or how fast i should go, and he was getting pretty irritated with me because i was going so slow.
We finally stopped at a bathroom (Logboom park) and i threw myself on the ground, totally spent. He demanded to know what was wrong with me.
The brake was dragging.
who knew? and who knew to check?
that was the last time THAT happened.
