4:00 AM can't sleep rambling

May 25, 2011 04:16

Shoulder woke me up, must have slept on it wrong, surfing the web waiting for the Advil to kick in.

I did 42 miles on the road bike this past Sunday afternoon. It was pretty slow with several stops and even pulled Abby a few miles of it after meeting up with GFWTR and Abby. It was a church bike ride so we has all ages for at least parts of it. The great thing is my arse felt fine. I road a few miles Monday night and everything felt just fine. Because Abby got grumping I turned around on the ride early or Sunday would have been closer to 50 miles. I am looking forward to trying that ride again with no stops and see what I can do.

I have the itch for a new bike. I am seriously considering a cyclocross bike since I am doing so much street riding. Specifically a Kona Jake if I can find a 2009 or 2010 for a good deal. Trying to find a used cyclocross bike has not been a fruitful search. That said giving the bombed out nature of the sidewalks around here maybe a full suspension downhill bike might be a safer choice.

rambling, cycling
