wickedraw Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 Rode about 20 miles total yesterday. I got clipless pedals and shoes for my mtn bike so I went on a 16 mile road ride to test them out. Definitely improved my speed for sure, and it was only the first day using them. Hopefully I'll be able to ride some light trails today to test them off road. So far for May I've got 125 miles in. I'd really like to break 400 so I gotta step it up a bit the next few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wickedraw Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 rode 9.45 miles in 43 minutes and 9.55 miles in 44 minutes or so. rode to work to buy a floor pump. clipless pedals rock! my speeds up to 13mph, which is still slow, but not bad for a mtb with super knobby tires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wickedraw Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 tested out the clipless pedals on some light trails today. just over 9 miles of riding. we left the house too late so it started to get pretty hot out. had only a small fall on a tight corner. i didnt land on a cactus, but somehow still ended up covered in tons of spines...

wickedraw Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 just finished a 21 mile road ride with my husband! it was nice, because the farther we got out of the city, the cooler the weather! took 1:38:54, so right around 13mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kareno Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 How fun! What a lovely thing to do together with your husband! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wickedraw Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 Yeah it was really fun, definitely something we both needed. Lots of talking and laughing and watching the sunset. I did a short 4.21 ride tonight after I got home from work, my legs were too tired today to cycle commute today. Nice night time ride, barely any cars, hit all green lights. Starting to get faster for sure, 14.1 average mph tonight! I may work on my road bike tomorrow, I had a set back this weekend and had to re-do the entire bottom bracket, so I'm basically where I left off a few weeks ago. Oh well, I'll have it soon enough!
