So today was the day I couldn't stand looking at the bike on the trainer, put some new tires on and hit the road. Well after working real hard on the trainer all winter I flew out the gate so to say. Man I was all that, just flying! Bike was working great the legs full of power, I was the man. Then I turned around into a headwind, man oh man nothing like the road to remind you of the real world, I had to use my small ring to get down some of the hills man it was so windy. All in all though I could feel a big difference in my abilities, cadance was really up from last year and the hills seemed a lot less difficult. Had my HR higher than all winter too, maxed out at 194 averaged 145, man I still have a silly grin on my face, God I love the road! Oh yeah 62km total.
