Like a Dream
I am proud to announce that I have officially been bitten by the road biking bug! I took the “American beauty” out for two 15 mile rides this weekend and it felt amazing! I rode from my house, to White Rock lake, around the lake and back. Both times it took me approximately 54 minutes which I figured put me at about a 17 mph average for the 15 miles. I’m really looking forward to getting some more time in the saddle and hope to be averaging around 22-23 mph for 20-25 miles by March of next year. I have my sites set on the tri in Athens, TX next March and want to be in top form so I can improve my 21st overall finish from 2008.
I noticed, however, that the computer that came with the bike is no longer working and so I will need to get that fixed so I can track more accurately how fast and how far I am riding. I will post more training updates as they come.
Until then,
Peter
