Training Log - 2/20/07

Distance: 13.2 miles
Avg Speed: 16.6 mph
Max Speed: 20.0 mph
Temperature: 66 degrees
Total Training Distance: 136.1 miles
Weight: no idea as I had to lend my son the scales for his high school robotics project

Awesome ride tonight! I decided to just let it rip and I had a blast. After the first 3-4 miles I settled down into a nice rhythm. It was like I was floating instead of riding over the road. For the last few miles it felt like I was flying. My legs were pumping effortlessly and my mouth was open sucking in air like a jet engine. It felt great! Riding at night only accentuated the sense of speed.

I need to raise my seat up just a little as it still feels like I'm a little cramped pedaling. I also need to adjust the gears on the front set of gears. The fall I took Sunday may have knocked the gear changer a little out of whack. Or maybe the cables have stretched a little after this initial few weeks of use. Its amazing how you need to make little tweeks to the bike to get the most out of it.

Anyway, it was a good night on the bike.
