Ok, a couple improvements made on the morning bikeride to work. 1) slowed down and took it easy on climbs; 2) coasted whenever possible; 3) put the metal ring that keeps my jeans from getting shredded and greasy a little lower on the jeans, so that they're not so tight on my ankle; 4) convinced the weather to be 60 instead of 70. :-P Next time it ( Read more... )
