A diary of Steve's biking adventures. I ride to help me cope with loneliness. Its better than drinking whiskey I guess.

It hit 73 degrees yesterday (a new record) and I got to see how fit I am after all the spinning I did this winter. It actually felt easier to ride outdoors than inside. I got to test my new odometer, and I went 19.53 miles on this trip. I went about 10 miles per hour into the wind, and 19 mph on the way back. I had some knee pain, so I adjusted the cleats so that my foot was as far back as it would go. I think that fixed my knee pain, but time will tell. I have used the downtime this winter to get my bike to fit better, and I can pedal much faster now. I get some great bike tips from watching you tube videos. The wind got me going so fast (28.5 mph according to my odometer), it scared me so I slowed it down. I could easily have gone faster, but 28 mph feels very fast when when your on top of a 21 lb bike. It was cooler today, so I did a half hour of spinning. I can work up a very good sweat from that.
