Road Ride
Managed to get out at lunch yesterday on the road bike.
In the two years it's been since riding mine, I'd nearly forgotten the sensation of riding a road bike.
It's like speeding around on a tight-rope or riding the head of a pin.
The widest part is you.
Honestly adjusting to the sensation of the bike was more difficult then adjusting to the cars and trucks rolling by a mere foot away.
Eventually it all melded and I rode happily around spinning in the sun. I only had an hour and wasn't really interested in a "workout". The point was to be out of the office and on the bike spinning.
Fully kitted (wearing sponsored jersey and shorts), I didn't look like a tourist, though every time I rode by another fully kitted rider I certainly felt like one.
Maybe next time I'll have more time, throw in some hills and feel like I've done something at the office that day.
