I had the day off work today (presidents day) so my mom and I went for a long bike ride. I tried out her road bike, since I was told that would add about 3mph to my biking ... and I was seeing if i could complete the half ironman in time.
We did a pretty easy, pretty flat route. It seemed like we went far and long... but when I went home and mapped it, I guess we just went slow... though we did at least 25 miles I think ? Mmm we stopped for starbucks 1/2 way too. Hopefully there is one of those enroute during the race...
The road bike felt ok. Its weird adjusting to a new position while riding... and 3/4 into the ride, I realized that pushing up on the right gear actually downshifted. (yeah it took me that long to figure it out...). So I suppose I will try out the new roadbike some more. Need to try some hillier rides. eek.
