Did I have to do this? January 3, 2006
Posted by clayton in : workout , add a commentToday, I had a heck of a ride in one way but in the other, what a bummer. I woke up at 8:30am once but the roads were a bit wet and the clouds looked pretty bad so I went back to bed. Woke up at 11am and DAMN it was sunny. I went for a 60km ride.
The ride: I'm guessing it took about 3hrs or less, yes, I'm guessing. Why? My stupid computer died out FIVE times!!! I wonder if it has something to do with the wind. I'd say it was the strongest wind that I've ever rode in before. I actually had to lean on one side just to maintain balance and yes, I had a hard time not only going uphill but also on flats. On the first downhill, my speed actually fell from 33kph to 26kph in 3sec. Check this out, I also ran into a lot of traffic and my cell phone was broken by the time I got home:-( I crashed into an unexpected bump and it flew out. The best part of it, I didn't even notice it flew until I stopped, hehe. Rode backwards and off to the treasure hunt, I go. Then a roadie passes by with a questioned look on his face. Not suprised at all, I was riding my road bike on the sidewalk so slowly and very cautious with a scary look on my face, hehe. What a ride, I think I'll just laugh it off.
Tomorrow: Long ride? Possible though I don't know if I could wake up early enough to get passed traffic. Unfortunately, I live near a shrine where a lot of people visit on new years…Unfortunate? well I could walk there, that's good but I've never visited:-)
