oh my gosh!

it was the big annual LBS sale today...
went and bought a cadence computer so there are nasty wires to the rear wheel of my bike now... and also bought some 'gels' seeing as they were reduced...

WHAT A DIFFERENCE ON MY RIDE!!

instead of struggling 12-13 mph and it all being tough i was sailing the same route at 16-18 mph with some proper fuel (i eat a minimal carb diet for medical reasons generally) and the cadence monitor which showed I was wayyyyy overspinning at 115-120-- keeping that in the 90-95 range by pushing harder gears with some glucose in my legs-- a 4mph jump and i coulda kept going much longer than the 15 miles i did only time ran out...

cadence and glucose - WOW!!!!!

oh-- even though i thought my stock saddle was fine on my bike, i somehow managed to come home with a new one -
