Since the end of the DR, I have not been riding as frequently as before. I need to set my sight on a new goal. However, I have been acquiring some accessories along the way and have noted a big difference.
Bike pump vs. floor pump- Such a difference to be able to pump up your tires with a floor pump that lets you know the PSI.

Sneakers vs. clip on bike shoes- I ran for 7 years before buying the bike. I do not miss running at all as biking is easier on the knees. I ran 3 miles on Saturday, so maybe if I find some place to swim; maybe I can try a tri.
Road bike vs. touring bike - It took me a long time to emotionally be able to buy a new bike as the Trek 520 was with me every day of the cross country trip. However, the Trek Madone 5.2 is so much lighter. It also has quick release brakes and shifting is from the handlebars so I can ride in a few different positions and has made riding much more enjoyable. I could not have made the cross country trip without the 520 and I could not have made the DR without the 5.2 (although I wish I had a triple for that ride).
And finally a picture from the UK. Peter, Harry and Tom will be riding from tip to tip starting this week. Hopefully, not on the bike below.

Great photo of the three daytrippers - surprised to see their hands empty though, no beer?
ReplyDeleteDo the TRI! Do the TRI! Do the TRI! Or, should I remind you that you can do anything now? Did you forget that you rode your bike across America?!
