My goal for the year was to cycle around 1400 miles and I managed to ride 1236 miles, climbed 21 thousands feet, in 86.5 hours, which is pretty good even if I say so myself. I also targeted to complete two cycling events which I managed as well.
After 2+ months of preparation, I finished the NYC 5 Boro Bike Tour in May.
One of the great thing about owning a piece of sport equipment is customization, to make it uniquely mine. A bike offers many ways of customization and here are mine. Some of them are more customizing my riding experience vs. customizing the bike itself. (I haven’t included pictures of the mundane stuff like foot pump, spare tube, CO2 canister, tire repair kit, and saddle bag)
Currently I’m waiting for two more items to arrive; Camelbak Podium Big Chill Bottle
Things that are on my shopping list in the future; road tires, better saddle, and winter clothing.
Rode over 8 miles for first time yesterday. Wasn’t as hard as I thought. I’m now less apprehensive about Sunday’s 18 miles ride.
Definitely need to get pedals & shoes soon.
It’s been two proper morning rides and I’ve enjoyed them so far. I am able to ride further than I thought. Initially I thought I can only ride about 5 miles at most on the flat but I’ve already rode 6.5 miles with slight climbs today without hitting the wall. Hopefully I can ride 10+ miles soon so I can start getting some serious cardio workout.
