March 27 Rides

[Catrin]

I am having to work at home today, however took a break to play on my bike! It couldn't be long as I had to get back to work, so only got about 9 miles in the sunshine and wind. It was glorious though! Now back to the grindstone of work.

Shifting is getting easier, and am trying to keep from going too fast for my current skill level - I figure that 16-17 mph might be a little fast for my current skills...I have no idea how I am going that fast on flat ground. Average speed is between 12.5-13.5 right now.

---> added: The coolest part is that I wasn't tired at all and I think I could have gone much longer if work wasn't calling me.... There were several cyclists I spoke with, one of which didn't step over a bike until he was 52 years old and at 54 he seems to be into serious racing. At 50 I am a spring chicken
