Today is Friday April 11 2025 and yesterday i took the day off work and did a bike ride.
I did other stuff too but after doing that other stuff i found a 2.5 hour window so coffee was consumed the road bike primed and i got my costume on and headed out for 35 windy miles.
By the end of it my hamstrings seriously wanted to cramp up.
I really do need to get serious about hitting the weights. It's the missing link to taking my fitness up a notch or two.
During the ride i came up with a fun new measuring device for the type of ride it was... how many times did you have to unclip? Since i always seem to end up riding towards downtown i have to unclip a lot, but its something i'm going to think about. Or maybe it can be a game, ride in an urban area and try hard not to unclip.
Speaking of unclipping i got some new road pedals from One Star Bicycles and i love them. They are made by Time and they are extremely easy to clip into... which is nice.
So yesterdays ride was super windy and my legs we're pleading for mercy by the end so obviously i have a long way to go until i would consider myself fit but then again compared to years past i'm probably way ahead of schedule if i'm hoping to be fast in October... which is kind of the goal.
But the main goal is always to enjoy riding my bike, so far so good.
