GOAL: rhythm, cadence, hydration
OF NOTE: wind was coming from the south. desire to change up my route to add a bit of a challenge at the beginning.
having ridden the same route for a few weeks, i decided to change it up. i was feeling good so after turning onto the service road, i decided to take the east fork route. either way i went, i had to make the climb up the hill on the service road as the road i normally use to reenter the neighborhood was barracaded. with determination, speed, and using the correct gears, i made it up the incline without much trouble. however, goin' up the other side of the hwy on the service road was a bit more difficult. had to put the gears down to 3 x 2. but i made it up the incline. i was thinking to myself, 'what were u thinking?' i answered myself, 'i need to work these challanges. if i don't work on them, i won't be able to pace myself correctly.' so onward i pedaled.
as i rode the chosen route, i enjoyed the ride. i am pleased with my hydrating and endurance. but i would like to push it just a bit more. there is so much u can see as u ride ur bike. however, it can be lonely unless riding with another. but the satisfaction of getting out and doin' something like that is exhilerating. there r times when i slow my cadence down, which doesn't help my average, and just coast as i take in the view.
