A first ride
Just got my “commute” bike tuned at Pedal Power - testing it out.
Thinking I may try to commute in part of the way by bike. This has captured my thinking a lot in the last 3-4 weeks.
Reaction from this ride:
-
I love the moving fast.
-
Sharing the road with traffic - no big deal.
-
Shape - oooof. Not good.
-
Only rode 2.5 miles or so.
-
Tired and sweaty.
-
Have a bit of the “fluttering light” thing in my eyes.
-
Heart rate fluctuated from 120 to 170.
-
More time to rest when riding than when running.
-
Like it better than running.
-
Shoes need better fitting.
-
Should try it several more times before getting serious about the plan - but so far very interested.
-
Gotta cut back on the starbucks.
