Happy 2013! Week 1

Happy 2013!

Jan 1, 2013

I’ve started 2013 with a great start to my virtual bike ride across America!  On January 1^st I did two indoor rides of 12 and 10 miles to work my why out of Manhattan and onto I-78 west. 

Progress Status:  On Target

Total Miles Rode:  22.33

Miles Remaining:  2732.67

Ride Notes:  I ordered a new saddle for my single speed bike project I’m working on.  It’s a Brooks B17 classic in black.  In order to break it in for spring riding, I’ve put it on my road bike which I’m using on my trainer for winter riding.  When I first opened the box and felt the saddle I thought it may be a bit hard, but after a few hours of riding on it, it’s surprisingly comfortable.  I will have more thoughts on this as I spend more time on it and break it in.

Next scheduled ride:  Jan 2^nd (spinning class)

Spinning Class was a tough one for me.  I seemed to spend more time in Zone 5 than I normally do.  This must have been a side affect of riding twice yesterday.  I spent 55 minutes spinning for a total of 14.66 miles.  Still working my way west on I-78.

Progress Status:  On Target

Total Miles Rode: 36.99

Miles Remaining: 2718.01

Next Scheduled Ride Jan 3^rd (spinning class)
