Rode 16.1 miles today on my Giro. I took it out on a course which starts will a 5 mile stretch of rolling hills. I managed the hills but boy were my thighs talking to me. Today's average speed was slow, 13.6 but I'm sure that had to do with learning how to ride my recumbent on hills and fighting a head wind for part of the way. However, it felt good to be out on the road and I'm looking forward to riding later in the week. I've decided to take my Giro with me on my trip home (Tennessee) this weekend. I'll ride it around my parent's little town, out to the park and home. I'm going to avoid the major roads for there are some big hills and I'm not ready to tackle them on this bike.
