Riding and Rolling

We got back early enough from Virginia that it was still light out and the weather was nice.  So of course, we headed out for a ride!  We hadn’t been on road bikes in two weeks, and last Sunday was a mountain bike ride.  That meant we wanted something easy to just loosen up from the drive back from Mom’s down south.  Stepping along with a high cadence, the ride was about 13 miles long from Kingsview to Morrow-Cozzadale road and back, but felt great.  Feeling frisking at the end of the ride, we “lit it up a  bit” near the end.  Penny zipped off ahead of me, and I hit about 26mph to catch and pass her. Definitely fun after the 6 hours in the car today!

Sitting on the porch at home was the new rollers I’d ordered from Nashbar.  After cleaning up the tires on the bikes, I brought my bike in for a test ride on the rollers.  It took a couple of minutes to get the hang of the balance, but soon I was shifting through the gears and going no where at 10mph in the house… LOL!  I spent about 10 minutes on them, definitely feeling it in my legs, abs, and arms.  These rollers will be a great addition to my riding!
