After serially clanging my chime for a couple of weeks, and not really
enjoying riding in slushy parking lots, i took a couple of months off my
uni. But i never quit.
This week i've been back in the saddle, andtoday I knocked out a four
mile 'river loop' ( http://tinyurl.com/crkaj) in my neighborhood.
Total time, including rest stops was about 1.5 hours.
This was a personal best in all respects!
My free mounts are still ... (um we won't talk about them), but my
balance and control has dramatically improved; i can handle most of the
sidewalk intersections, curb cuts and stuff that i come across. Today i
even made it along a narrow rutted bicycle shortcut. My pedal control
has gotten oodles better, as i'm not getting "hot foot" anymore, and i
can actually reposition my foot on the pedal while riding (w/o falling
off).
I enjoyed the affirmations from the kids in the park this afternoon,
some even asked for my autograph!
Next week, weather permitting, i'm going to ride the ' tev ring ' (
http://tinyurl.com/953rc) at lunch. 3.8 miles, easy, flat and no
traffic.
