Today is Wednesday November 12 2025 and last night i rode my Cyclo Cross bike for about an hour.
It was very enjoyable.
During the ride i did a lot of fiddling with my saddle and also tilted the handlebars down quite a bit and by the end everything felt pretty great. Tilting the handlebars forward seemingly made a huge difference in the feel. Prior to that i felt constricted. Between the saddle and the handlebars it was like i was being shoved into a funnel.
So hopefully this position change translates to a more comfortable race next weekend.
But honestly my body probably needs a lot more work than my riding position. i could use about 3 solid months of strength work and yoga. i'll mark my calendar for January, February, and March.
Riding at night in the suburbs kind of sucks. It's so dark. When i lived by the Plaza i would ride at night all the time and it was great because there were so many more street lights. Plus there's activity when you live in the city. Cars, pedestrians, stores... things to stimulate the mind.
The suburbs at night are dark and boring.
But from my house i can ride to the plaza and back in about an hour. So that's a nice carrot and that's what i last night.
