After spending a fortune on gear over the last week, I am starting to look like I am good and shit! Took Sophia out for a spin last night and I really noticed to difference since I first took her out.
Here’s some things that I have reflected on and learnt since my initial ride:
- Lycra, lycra, lycra! That is all.
- Always keep striving to go faster, harder and longer. That bitch arse ride will soon become ez-mode.
- Never rely on anyone else to have a pump suitable for Presta valves.
- You can achieve anything with warm hands and protected eyes.
- Super short laces are a far more cost effective than brand new shoes.
- Fluoro hoodies are both cute and functional for late afternoon rides.
- Suck it up and take the hill. The easy route is full of pot holes anyway.
- Cookies are most definitely better post-ride.
- If you are going to push to break the pain barrier, be prepared for the agony after the endorphins wear off.
- More lycra!
I just had some more stuff arrive today. Really looking forward to installing it and going out for another ride this afternoon. Now that I have my cycle computer/heart rate monitor, I can finally start logging my rides too, yay \o/
