Continuing bicycling saga…
This week’s trip was from Bellevue to the 3X burgers & Root beer in Issaquah, just over 20 miles …
It was actually 4 more because we went back to the car after 2 miles cause I couldn’t find my camera. Unfortunately we were about a third of the way up the steep part when we turned back, and my legs were Jello like when we got up it the second time.
Elevation profile
Apart from that the trip was fairly uneventful. We split a 1/2 lb bacon burger and fries, and then rode back except for a switchback part which we we wimped out on and walked up.
Taking a break
This is the beginning of the walking portion. Trip Speed was just 10mph including the walking, although max speed was 33 mph. Trip was on a new Brooks B17 saddle, which fortunately didn’t cause any lasting problems. My bike computer sez that I have done 765 miles in total. I figure I need 2000 before the bike pays for itself.
