A Bad Weekend…

On Saturday I went for what I wanted to be a 50+ mile ride. Everything was going well until I started one of the last few “climbs” of the day. I stood up on my pedals and as soon as I pressed down on my right leg it cramped up and locked. As I tried to get off the bike (now going 1 mph), it tightened up and I couldn’t do anything but hobble onto the ground! After stretching it out I was able to get on my bike and ride home…

After the ride I decided I needed a new helmet that would ventilate a little better. Went out to Sports Center and picked up a new Bell helmet for $40. Got home and ripped off all the stupid Bell stickers.

Today, I went out for a nice 16 mile ride. Nothing too hard, keeping a nice 17mph average. First, it starts raining hard on me. Not a problem, I enjoy the rain. As I am making my way back into town I stand up on my pedals to get some speed and my right pedal breaks off sending that foot to the ground. Next thing I know I am skidding across the wet pavement. I have scrapes up my left side, but all is well. And no, I didn’t scratch my new helmet.

This is how I feel…
