Thursday morning I checked the forecast and the Friday/Saturday forecasts had rain, and I felt like getting out, so I hopped on my bike early and was out the door around 7:15/7:30am.
I "only" did 34km, but it was fun, and interesting to see how it felt compared to the 74km I did last week. I also found a really nasty hill, which I'll have to ride again sometime, as it's good training, no doubt.
And again I realized that I should bring a camera so that I can snap some pix and make these blog posts a lot more interesting.
I wasn't happy with my bike seat, and so just to try it out I "stole" the padded + sprung seat from my wife's bike a few weeks back. So far I'm liking it quite a bit. It bounces a bit, which I think helps hide the fact that my bike has no suspension. And that 34km ride felt pretty good on my backside compared to when I did such a ride last fall.
The other discovery I made, which is kind of obvious in hindsight, was how much you can accomplish if you just get out there a bit early. 7:15 isn't even that early to get on the road. I was home just after 9:30am, had a 2hr ride behind me, 34km done, and the day was still wide open ahead of me!
