Continuing the saga of my new Trek road bike today I did 22 miles at an average speed of 14.1 Although that may not seem like much to many of you (most?) the fact is that last spring when I started cycling again I was only averaging 10 mph and I was at least 10 lbs heavier. True, I switched to a road bike from a hybrid and then from an older road bike to a new lighter Trek I like to believe some of the increase is due to getting into better shape. At any rate I am really enjoying these spring days on my shiny new bike. Love the easier shifting!
