Tales of a Novice Cyclist

Met up with RL today for a run out to Hidden Valley and back. I passed up her car and didn’t see her, so I figured I’d just go out on my own and come back. It was a beautiful day, and warm. Lots of horses out on the pastures. I’ve never heard so many of them heeah-ing. Is that how that sound? I looked at the hill at Potrero and decided to go back for RL and possibly do it on my 2nd time back. But RL had been doing hills all morning so was pooped. On our way back, RL and I sprinted on a straight-away, biggest gear, sprint all the way. YEAH! She was keeping up and definitely stronger. =)

I’ll do the hills on my next run. Hopefully, I won’t bonk out and throw up like yesterday… No Cytomax this time… maybe just a Nuun tablet.

I also took my bike to the shop to get adjusted. I keep sliding forward on my seat. Don’t know why… So B-man angled the saddle up half a notch.. hopefully that will solve the problem. I will see on my next ride… Oh! and I also bought these great Giordana Silverline shorts - ultracomfy around the waist. Cute… oh,.. and a black Pearl Kodiak jacket for paragliding/biking, a Castelli shirt that I think I’ll return,…… Every time I go into the bike shop, I spend too much money… Shorts, shirt, bike polish, socks, jacket, etc… sigh… But! I like my purchases… =) Must stop accumulating so much gear and gear accessories… BTW, disclaimer: this isn’t my actual butt… I wish…! This picture is just a stock photo. =\  Maybe in a few months? hah!
