Today was the first day I managed to get on my bike since the weekend (I am fairly sure I missed posting one ride last week) so I was due to get some exercise. I was able to ride with my Neighbour who is a fairly fit guy and recently took up biking after knee surgery last fall.
The ride today was awesome, a real nice day in Minnesota with warm weather hardly any wind … the tree’s budding out…. awesome. We rode for nearly 25 miles which was my longest ride in about … oh 20 years! I had a bit of a hard time keeping up for the first half of the ride but did “kind of” however as the pace was a bit high for me near the end I kind blew up and really slowed down on the last 4 or 5 miles which hurt my average miles per hour. I am hoping to bust out of this 14 miles an hour average crap soon … I guess the most important thing for “Tour Guy” to do right now is just get some real miles into my legs.
Useless Stats As Fixed Gear Likes To Call Them As Follows:
Trip: 24.7
Time: 1:44:38
Max Speed: 28.7
Average Speed: 14.1 <— The one I really hate ….
Bottom line is that I got in nearly 25 miles and that is good for the old man ~
