its been 4 days since i last rode my bicycle... today i went out for a quick 30 min ride around the neighborhood. this was the first ride using my Novara Padded Bike Boxers that i purchased from REI a few weeks ago.
here's what i have to say about the product. its great and super convenient. i can wear these under my gym shorts and still get the same effect as bicycle shorts. the mesh material provides extra cooling when going down hill. the padding is good enough for long and short trips... at first i thought the padding was kind of loose but once i sat on the saddle it worked like a charm. i would definitely buy this product again and recommend it to my friends. it takes the discomfort that i've had before when riding without any paddding.
back to my ride...
climbing the hill was good. i think all that running helped build some strength in my legs... i totally hate that the bike lanes full of little pebbles and rocks. especially when it gets dark i hit those rocks and just messes me up in terms of my peddling. i also was lazy to check the air in my tires. so i kind of felt that my tires were a bit sluggish in some parts. it might just be a mental thing though... but when i got home i made sure i pumped 100 psi in them.
i think i need to work on the hills a bit more to build more strength!
more strength = faster runner and faster cyclist
