What a great day for a bike ride! 66F and cloudy at lunch time. I can take a long lunch and get the bike in! That's unheard of at this time of year. So 30 miles at 16mph. I was getting stronger and faster but its a bit of a hiatus at the moment from that. The knee isn't doing great and the thigh is compensating so its quite tired. I cant decide if I just get used to this or I did mess myself up. Its in Shakin' Stevens mode, four steps forward and the knee collapses. It kind of looks like I'm drunk.
Also I'm slipping gears again. The chain looks good so I'm off to the bike shop at opening time. Hopefully they can look at it.
One thing I was thinking about was the early days when I was cycling half the distance and all that went through my mind was "Bollox to this". That feeling is long gone which feels good by itself. I'm trying to decide how to add sprints in without dropping time. I know its train smarter not harder but a 1 hour cycle is a lot less calories than a two hour cycle. Its a hard balance between train smart and lose weight.
