Bike Log

I really just got the bike like 2 weeks ago. I did some road riding earlier this summer out at the shore.did about 40 miles out there with a group...doing 17.5-19.5...with no hills..we were at the beach.

With the new bike, i've done about 3 rides 25-35 miles each. I think its sized right...could use some adjusting. The LBS guy has my stem in a raised position and the bars a bit on the higher side to help me get used to the road. I think i'm just not that used to be in one position for so long, esp being bent over riding. ?

I would say that's a fair assumption. It usually takes me awhile to get used to it after not riding for an extended time.

great ride last night int the trees, felt just like skiing in the trees...8-10pm...warm night, some wet sections/puddles, no one else around, we had to stop as my buddys light died....so we drove over to the local watering hole for a few pints/burger and watch the end of the mets game....great night!!!

What kind of light do you have skiquattro? You Helmet mount, yes?

I was out this morning on the trails in the local woods before work for about an hour. Usually get in some more time out there but had to be somewhere a bit earlier than my usual. Wetter than I thought, but these woods drain pretty well overall.

I split the answers to this question into an existing thread:
Head and Handlebar lamps?

Actually we've decided to keep all bike related stuff in here since there's not that mut traffic anyway...

Any more questions?? :P

Now back to your regularly scheduled bike log....

I MTB'd for about an hour after work on Wed after work. It's getting hard to get a ride in before the light goes away (no light)....
