30 Minute Bike

Rode the bike at work for 30 minutes averaging 14.75 mph, which is pretty good considering I was experimenting with grips and shifting gears. My very best times from a year ago were at 13 mph for the work loop. Today I had to slow on most of the turns to keep my balance. While I did do 13 a time or two on the hybrid, most of my workouts were in the 10-12 mph range. My best race I averaged 13.1mph on the hybrid. I would be content to average 15-16 mph in a race. I did not check the cadence meter tonight, but I am sure I am only going about 60 rpms. That I need to improve.

In the next couple days I will try some hills.
