Bike ride went well today. I got in 27 miles and I was in the solid 16 mph average speed now. I always cycle slowly the last mile and check my average with 1 mile to go, 16.5 mph. By the end it had dropped to 16.2 but that's brilliant! I am now solidly in the 16s. I have my eye on the 17s now but I think that's a bit off.
On the weight loss front. The week was awful so I expected a bad weigh in. Well I actually lost half a pound this week. One day I will meet the angels of weight loss and ask them whats the deal? To be honest even if my weight is remaining constant I'm still dropping waist sizes so I must be doing something right.
So shammy butter (or is it chammy butter?). Its the biz. I have been struggling with chaffing (One of the great evils) and comfort on my bike rides. I have been informed that if I get a 150 dollar pair of shorts that would help, but lets face it I cycle 3 times a week so that works out to 450 or a lot of washing. So the guy at the derby bike shop in Thornton was very helpful, he even explained how to apply the stuff (an odd conversation but very useful). Thanks mate!
No route today as my Garmin was out of batteries.
