Today was my first ride on a "regular" route with my new Bianchi that I used to ride on my Trek hybrid. It's a short route but a good workout at just under 7 miles. Last time I rode it was 7/21 and I averaged 11.7 mph and it took me 35:18. Today, was a different story and I feel good! I averaged 14:24 mph today and it took me 29:43 to complete.

Such encouragement! I don't know what it is, but when I get on my bike I just want to go and go fast if I can. My lungs and my legs don't always like that though so I have to be careful. I think the cooler weather out today probably helped quite a bit too.
