First Kurt Ride

Well, I finally broke in the new Krut trainer and my new Specialized Tarmac last night. I did 10 miles and about 30 minutes or so.

I have two observations. It’s really an art form the stand and climb with the bike latched into one of those things. Ouch on the stock Specialized seat. I figured my past year in the saddle at spin class had prepared me. I was wrong.

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

Oh it did, no doubt. Not quite as fun as spin classes, but I didn't have to drive anywhere either.
