So i've been on my new bike a week so far and according to my odo i've clocked 60.995 miles.
My commute route is 5 miles, i've been doing it in 23 mins with an average speed of around 13mph.
however last two days i decided to up the anti, so yesterday i took a loop to work rather then the more direct route and clocked 8.3 miles in, took me 37 mins.
today i went a little further and did 9.2 miles in 39 mins with an average of 13.8mph (want to hit that 14mph mark.)
i'm on a hybrid, and its the first time and i'm really enjoying it. (before was always a clunky old BSO)
do these times sound ok? i don't feel like i'm pushing myself too much mind, when i get in i can certainly feel it in my legs etc but i don't get any really lasting aches or anything and nothing appears strained.
tomorrow i'm considering looping out a touch further and go for that magic 10. i must admit when my ride comes to an end i'm not thinking 'thank the gods thats over' i'm more thinking 'damn i've run out of miles...'
tell you what tho, i'm sleeping like a log at night
