I'm beginning to feel almost like a real cyclist. I finally got my clipless pedals and shoes earlier this week, and they are awesome. I was partly waiting because they're expensive, and partly waiting because I was afraid to embarrass myself by getting stuck and falling over in public. I am happy to report that I have been on several rides since becoming a big-girl cyclist and have not eaten it yet *knock on wood*.
I became so infatuated with riding with the proper equipment (bike shorts, shoes...) that I decided it's time to get some other things I've been putting off. Like a cyclo-computer. This, unfortunately, I have not had a chance to use yet because I got it yesterday and it rained all day today, but I did spin the wheel around and it registered speed so I guess I installed it properly...we shall see. And I know, we're supposed to practice riding in the rain and I should have gone anyway, but I don't have a rain jacket yet (haha, don't worry, it's on the list). I am also test driving an upgraded saddle. See now, other than the fact that I wear t-shirts when I ride people might think I'm the real deal. I've always believed looking the part is half the battle. See: high school soccer photos. I was terrible, but you'd only know it if you saw me play ;)
I'm getting so excited about the trip. I can't believe we're just 54 days away. Shoot, 54 days? ...Crap I gotta go do some fundraising see ya
