Rode my bike outside today for 51mi with a friend. It was beautiful weather and the course had nice rolling hills and most of the route had a bike lane. Since it is Easter, there was very little traffic as well. I don't have a bike computer yet, I've ordered one and its on the way so I just use my GPS and let it run continually through stop lights and stop signs. I would say the pace ranged between 17 and 20mph for most of the ride. I got a new saddle that a USAT certified coach recommended and it was horrible. It's the ISM Adamo Road saddle, and it has a wide front with a cutout that caused a constant pain around my groin area. I've read that most people drill out the center and zip tie the front of the saddle closer together. I am definitely going to try that. |
