About 10 miles in 45 minutes averaging close to 14 mph around my normal, simple route: out to Soldier's Delight ride around the block. How did it feel?
Boy the working out since Jamuary really made this easy! Looking over my logs from last year and I am running about a mile quicker around the same distance. The hills weren't bad or tough, and almost didn't have to be used. I felt like I was using a larger gear.
One thing though was my form was awful. I may be somewhat stronger, I may be somewhat fitter, but my control of my bike was off. Breaking, shifting, and pedaling was off. It's going to take a few turns to get better.
Being fit also makes 10 miles somewhat easy. I might have to go out for an hour, and that means entering the scary forests. This will be a fun season.
