40 Mile Bike Trip Afterthoughts
Today I set out determined to ride to Carrie’s house from mine. This is right at 20 miles one way. This would turn out to be the furthest I have been. Usually bike trails are pretty easy to do 40 miles. I however wanted to make my goal a little harder, which is why I chose a road route.
It took a bit to get my legs into it but after the first hill it was smooth sailing….Until I had my chain bind up and break the shifting arm. This keep me from all 14 of my lower gears and left me with 7 high gears. This is a bad thing when it comes to hills.
The trip back wasn’t bad until the hills came. The lack of gearing really took a toll on the legs. I am proud to say I stayed with it and battled through it o complete the trip. Just a little over 40 miles. Now time to rest…..
