Yesterday afternoon, right after work, I road the Farmington Canal Trail up to Mass from Avon, about 28 miles or so. Before the ride I had to adjust the seat AGAIN! Might need a new style of seat post...this 3T doesn't seam to hold my weight. Really a great ride, for a trail. I much prefer the road, but this ride was nice after the hard ride with Tom on Sunday. A bit longer, and more aerobic base building. I left the Open Pro's on for the end of the season, knowing that my new bike will require my Dura Ace wheels. They were great on the flats, and the Ultegra Hubs spun nicely, but were noticeably harder to maintain a spin or cadence over time. That is another great summer ride, with most of the ride being in tree cover. I tried to concentrate on proper posture and pedal stroke, when I remembered. It is getting easier to hold positions as I get stronger in the core from Cynergy Class. Bring me back again to Cynergy tonight.
After riding I went to a Tai Restaurant for dinner, and had noddles and crispy chicken...Not impressed. Probably will not be back there, but who knows.
Following dinner I went to Harbour Freight to get a 1/4 to 3/8 female to male adapter for my torque wrench so I can build my bike when it comes. My brother Nick would never leave this place. I bought a new Allen Socket Set in Metric, the converter, a set of Pen Magnets, and a Hand Blower for cleaning between brakes, derailleurs, bottom bracket, and crank. It all cost 20 bucks, total. I will be back, as they were closing when I left, and could have spent hours looking around.
Tonight I am going to go to Spin and Cynergy classes. I am going to class CC to see if Dan, Dave or Saunder are going to attend, as I have gotten them free passes to try it out. I am hoping this will convince them that we need Monday Night workouts at RH.
Nick is excited about building his bike, about like I was my first time through. It gets addictive. Love doing the research myself, so actually completing the bike is somewhat of a let down. So this time I have left parts to replace so I can upgrade and continue the fun.
