First and second ride

Posted: March 28, 2010 in Uncategorized

My bike  is  now  complete since a few weeks already. The first time  i’ve tried, only 50 meters only   because  my chain broke, the chain link in fact.  After repairing it   a tried the second attempt and broke the chain 200 m erters away this time. So i went to halfords and  putrchased  a sigma taya link. A real shit, it’s impossible  to install it. Some people can but  definitely not me. Finally the  local bike shop had the  kmc that i need  and  5 seconds later everythnig  was ko.

As i don’t know where to go and not to be lost  in the middle  of nowhere, a quick visit  no googlemap to know  where it is possible to go.

from doncaster to high melton, not a lot  but for me  who didn’t ride a bike for  3.5 years this  is  really  hard now.

This  sunday 28 march i took the same  way but  went further , so about 22 kilometers. i was on my knee, really with no legs at all. moreover when i had to climb even if  there’s  no hill ! Just  me   trying  to find  my muscles . I’m 71 kilos for 1.79. 3.5 years earlier i was weighting between 63 and 67 max, an averange  of 63 kg.

Roads are not so bad  considering it is  countryside. A least  i consider it  as  a good training, the aim isn’t to go fast  but to do well and  relearn what i’ve lost.

My tires are veloflex, good ones nothing bad to say maybe  not so comfortable  but the roads didn’t help.
