170626 Ride
This morning:
11 miles, average speed 11 MPH, course has some hills so it's just enough challenge to work me, and it's local so I don't have to drive anywhere before I ride.
... and it's beautiful early in the morning!
Improve your "riding score"
If you're just getting into "serious" biking (on any level, really) there are some things you can do to improve your "cycling score". Your cycling score is a combination of: 1. How far you can ride 2. How fast you can ride 3. How comfortably you can ride All three of these characteristics are a reflection of how efficiently you ride. When you ride, you want to be able to stay on the bike as much as possible - up hill, down hill, on the flats, and around the curves. In order to do this you want to be efficient at shifting gears, assuming an appropriate riding position, and anticipating conditions. In order to ride longer, you want to appropriately condition yourself for endurance. In order to ride comfortably, you have to have the right clothing and accessories. We'll deal with each of these areas in future posts.
