Subject: The taste of asphalt Went on my first ride today. Adapted to aero immediately. Started thinking, this is not so bad. What have I been afraid of? 8 miles out, pain in the nether region. Need more seat time. Caught up with my group twice, only to not clip out and fall while stopped at some railroad tracks. Damn, that would have been better done solo. Got it out of my system, though.
So, aching and starting to tire, I decide to do a there and back, rather than their loop. I take a break at mile 17, crotch hurting badly. Definitely, not the same as on the spin bike. Heart rate alll over the place, and way out of zone 2 at times. Figure this time I will take a foot out early to lean on. Fell the other way. Lovely.
20 miles pedaled outside. Worth every fall, ache, and money spent. Now to get faster and sit in the saddle longer. Edited by FlyinTiger 2013-07-06 9:19 AM
