Last ride.....




on the trainer, yipppeeee!!! I decided this morning this would be my last ride inside on the trainer. It's Palm Sunday but we didn't have church due to the spring snow storm that blew in last night, so that allowed me to get a ride in this morning. From the pictures it probably looks like I should keep my bike (my Giant OCR1, silver with the lovely pink stripe!) on the trainer but the weather forecast is calling for temps in the 50's and 60's later in the week. I have Good Friday off from work and I think it's time for me to let my road bike experience the feel of the open road again! She may be feeling a little neglected caged up in the basement while the Bike Friday Power Raspberry (NWT) has been getting all the attention.
My hubby is going to switch out the back tire I put on for the trainer - hopefully the Gators have a few more miles in them - and I'll polish her up and we'll be ready once the spring weather decides to return! (I'm not in to snow and ice biking like some of my more hearty cycling friends!)

"hearty friend" here. We did about 8 miles in the heart attack snow, and it was great fun, but one heck of a workout!. City streets were much more bike friendly than the SF bike trail.
Check my blog for details/music. :)

I was thinking the same thing yesterday. I got 12 miles on it and should consider wiping it down, relubing it and switching out the back tire.

Now I have to train Max to not follow me on the bike.

HAPPY SPRING!!
