Comments: Wake up call this ride was.

Other than maybe one spin class per week and a couple of indoor TTs per month I really have not been on my bike at all... Loads of other crap like stairs, running around in a park, some weights but guess what; it just does not equal TITS (Time In The Saddle). I was not breathing that hard but my legs were toasty way too early on.

I managed one extended pull on Mercer Island while on the Hank ride and another on Rainier but then going around the island the second time I could NOT maintain the 23 mph that this one guy wanted to go. I practically got dropped.
Equipment: Bianchi Volpe, 38/50, 12-25

This is only my second ride outdoors with my new cleat position (I shoved them as far back as they would go) and it feels fine so I'm sticking with it.
