I\’ve made some progress, sort of; but I\’m glad I don\’t have to keep track of multiple gauges while riding. I\’d probably get too fixated on the instrument panel to watch where I\’m going!

At any rate, my Garmin lets me see how fast I\’m moving. This morning I worked at keeping to 15 mph. Out-bound, with a bit of a following breeze (maybe 4 mph), I maintained an average of 15.5 mph for almost 6.5 miles!

On the way home I couldn\’t keep that up, which worries me. True, an average of 14.69 mph isn\’t bad; and is a little better than I used to be able to do. That\’s progress, sort of. And adding together those two segments, I did average a hair over 15 mph🙂 But that\’s still not what I want to be able to do for Tour de Cure🙄

Now that the big day is three months away, I expect training rides to be announced any day. They\’ll probably say how fast a rider must be on each particular route; and then I\’ll know whether I\’m truly on track.

BTW, speaking of instrument panels: a new bicycle computer, power meter, etc. seems to come out with every turn of the wheel. I\’ll let things be, and continue to use the gadgets that I already have. I don\’t have to have every new \”toy\” that comes out.
