Exercised Induced Asthma

Ivory,

I hope it works. I've been able to ride more miles during a trip and more frequently. I am loving every minute of it. My confidence has tripled and part of me would love to..gasp..RACE at some point. I'd never even considered it before.

Woo Hoo! 20 miles today! The last 6 nearly killed me with the headwinds but I made it home. No breathing problems or exhaustion. Glad I brought an extra energy bar as I needed that second wind.

I'll take the next the couple of days off to give my legs a rest.

I also discovered that my seat post slowly lowers as I ride. I had to keep adjusting it and trying to make the screw tighter. I'll talk to my LBS and get that fixed.

I also need a real pair of shoes. I don't want clipless shoes, so I'll have to do some looking around. Something light and possibly open for my bunions. By the time I got home, my toes were throbbing and numb.

I think I found the tires I want as my LBS owner let me borrow his set. They are Bontrager XR1 29ers.

It's been a great day.
