2011 Ride #20 Sick Ride at Flatwoods

Being sick sucks! I was supposed to go with Suncoast Cycling and do the Suncoast Trail Head to Toe today - that didn't happen. I did find out though that I had misread the recommended PSI inflation pressure...now I am riding on about 115 PSI and it rolls sooo much better.

Being sick I didnt push too hard, but between improving my pedaling technique, dropping a gear to work towards raising my cadence, I managed to up my average speed to 17.51mph, which is .12mph faster than my previous best average.

2011 Ride #19 First ride on the trainer

So I picked up a Blackburn fluid trainer this past Friday so that I can get my mileage up without riding on the death highways that surround the condo. Trying to find a fluid trainer locally was a pain. I finally stopped by another one of our good LBS and found this one. The best part is they give discounts to SWAMP club members, so I ended up with a stellar price on it.

I have been sick, so I just did a quick 20 minutes on it just to get a feel for it. Definitly will take some adjusting to.
