This previous Sunday, yesterday that is, I finally got my new bike out on the road. This is in Melbourne and I rode out on the beach road in the arvo.
I have not been on a bike in nearly five years so the joy was monumental.
Weather was ok on the way out, rode 20 km before turning back. Then the rain came, not some light rain, no it was pissing down. People in cars were waving at me laughing. Funny though I managed to keep happy all the way back although I was freezing my ass off. I should say that the previously mentioned body part got sore as well. From the saddle and nothing else.
I had forgotten how much fun cycling is. Yihaaa. 🙂
Anyway, bike worked well, it is a cervelo soloist with Zonda wheels, and althoug being on office rat, I could easily maintain over 30 on the flats.
Really happy with Time Impact Mag s as well, easier setup is utopia.
Before the trip out, I had taken the bike to a LBS and bought some small stuff, lost my wallet on the way home, did not zipp up a pocket. I did not know this when I went out cycling so it did not ruin my day.
Just as I get home, two police men ring on my door. I had just stripped down to my underwear, they tell me that my wallet has been found, with Money intact, around 500 bucks, and plastic.
Also, when I came home from the trip, I noticed that one of the cleats were loose and one of the three screws gone. This morning I found that screw just outside my apartment.
I should play lotto or something. 🙂
Sorry, I am just so happy I do not know what to do with it. Want to go out again and again. But butt needs to become less sore first. 🙂
