Looking back at Training Day #1, I must apologize for the post. But that ride really, really sucked. So, I’m sorry.
Day #2 on the other hand was fun and I enjoyed just about every minute of the ride. Except the 10 or so that I wish I could have gotten back. I spent those 10 riding in circles trying to find the damn bike path that would take me through the suburban hell I was trapped in and under the freeway to reserve heaven. Luckily I found my way out before the devil found out I was there.
Once that was all over and I was headed to where I wanted to be, the ride was nice.
I made a few subtle changes to the bike and liked them. Seeing that for some reason putting cages on my hardtail also meant that I couldn’t get bottles out of those cages, I purchased some Z cages. These allow the bottle to exit to the side. Made all the difference in the world. I also went back to Ergon grips with bar ends. Yup, I’m rocking bar ends. Nope, I don’t ride a riser bar. So you can stick that in your book…
Anyways….
I added 30 minutes to my ride and double my mileage. Yes, I felt better.
And now for a random music video.
Out.
