| A Better Week | | Date Created: 17 Feb, 2006, 07:13 PM |
The week started poorly as I did not make it out on my bike beyond a bit of city hopping to save time, and collecting my new bike from the store. I am very impressed by the new machine as it is light weight and a pleasure to climb with.
Tuesday I managed to get out for a 12 mile ride up towards Redmires but as usual forgot to write down my times, miles etc. for publishing.
Wednesday saw a fabulous 21.5 mile route where I averaged 12.7mph, which wasn't too bad for me considering the climbs and how dodgy my gears have become. My steel bike needs a bit of a tune up.
Thursday I was busy all night and so I did not manage to get out, but today (friday) I went for two cycles. The first one was only my Redmires run (11miles) but I did it on my new bike as the weather was fabulous. I do not have any stats from the ride as I do not yet have a speedometer on my new bike, still trying to choose one. I timed the run at just under 40mins door to door which is pretty fast for me despite feeling tired. I had forgotten to eat all day (very unusual for me) due to how busy I was and so felt not great. I then got a call from a mate and met up for a night time ride where we repeated Wednesdays run. Great fun, but again my bike played up and then my sugar levels dropped (really should have eaten something) which almost killed me on the ascent from Stanage. I nabbed one of my mates powerbars and this got me home (just).
Anyway, apart from stopping a lot to try to get my gears/wheels working properly our moving average was not bad.
