51 minutes
15.6 miles on my bike . .kind of.
I am not in very good cycling shape. Hills hurt. Wind in my face sucks. I spent most of my ride pissed because I wasn't running!!
I got back and looked at the computer on my bike and it said 15.6 - - 51 minutes.
Later that day I did the math and thought, "that's pretty fast considering it was my first REAL ride."
The math kept not really working . . . .
Turns out . . . . .the 15.6 was in frickin' kilometers . . .so I rode a little over 10 miles not 15.6.
I thought I was going 18.3 miles per hour
I really was going 11.1 miles per hour
Went to a bike shop in Peoria and got a bag that sits under my seat so that I can take my phone and stuff with me on longer rides.
I am going for a run right now with my son . . .it is about 40 and rainy here . .. I look forward to get out into the world.
I am looking forward to become a better cyclist. It is WAY different than running however I think alot of the mental challenges will be the same.
This is my new bike:
