Cycling Experimentation
I rode into work this morning for SCIENCE! I normally bike on days I don’t run but I want to increase the frequency of both activities. Therefore I ran this morning with the intention of biking as well. Since my legs are JELL-Oy after running I kept my pace slow and coasted as much as possible. I also didn’t bring extra clothes with me. Usually I will ride in a t-shirt with a jacket and store another shirt in my bag.
I’m very happy with my pace. I didn’t struggle to beat traffic lights or keep up with traffic. My new route minimizes the traffic I ride with which helps. I remember my first few times in on Charlotte Ave; I was foolish to take that road. I sweated very little since it was chilly at 8AM. I think I wiped off my forehead once inside the office.
I’m very happy with my ride since my legs never felt like they had ran earlier. I’m not certain how wearing in one pair of clothes will work once the temperatures increase. I’ll play it by ear.
