Biking: July 29, 2009

Posted on July 29, 2009 No Comments

Been almost a week since my last “real” ride. I had some innertube issues, weather issues and, somehow, messed up my hand a bit along the way. Today I just had to make a ride fit in somehow — and I did. In fact, I got home from that ride just as it started to rain and it has rained on and off ever since.

Good timing.

The ride itself was uneventful. The legs were fresh and I kept a decent pace. My hand didn’t give me too much trouble once I focused on keeping weight off of it (I have a bad habit of locking my elbows and putting too much on my handlebars.). It was very overcast and even a bit humid and unseasonably cool. Very comfortable riding weather.

I rode 15.0 miles at an avg. speed of 17.5 mph. I’m calling that good enough for today. Hopefully will find a chance to get a longer ride in soon. I’ve been studying the maps and have a couple routes I’d like to try soon.
