Losing? 😕
I seem to be losing conditioning fast. Concerns over the weather kept me from doing much for several days; and today I was determined to put in 20 miles.
I want to ride some real miles in the next few days; by the weekend, tropical storm conditions aren’t impossible! But those miles this morning seemed awfully tough! On the way home, I had a 12 mph headwind; with gusts up to 20 mph!
Not only was that tough on my legs; but my arms started to ache. By the time I reached home, I decided it wasn’t wise to try any work on the road bike. I’m losing conditioning for it before I even have it!
More of the Same ⇉
Tomorrow might bring more of the same; at least, later in the morning. It’s a good thing that I habitually go out early. And today I sure wished I had some “cat ears“!
Using the road bike still makes me a little nervous; so I still walk it to the bike path. That’s tedious, as there’s a half-mile to go. I’m not using my biking shoes yet, because they really aren’t designed for long walks.
It’s hard to be patient! But I won’t get completely back to road biking overnight.
