testAnother short ride
This morning I drove up to the elementary school for another ride. This time I took a detour around a friend’s grandparents house, which loops back ground to the school. The hill I had to climb was not very big, and I was able to climb in a seated position, but my lungs just couldn’t handle it. I did complete the climb, but my recovery time was longer than it should have been. Last year when I was in the gym everyday I was able to complete 40 minute sessions on the eliptical machines. I feel so far away from where I was, at that time I was still overweight, but in much better health and I could keep up with the best of them in the gym. It is ashame there are so many hills here, which would accelerate my progress, but shorten my rides. If I could find a relatively flat place to ride I think 15 miles could be done without too much headache.
Right now I am using toe-clips because the shoes I used years ago do not fit. I need to get a set of shoes soon because I seem to ride with my feet on an angle which is going to effect my ankles.
I found a post on Bike Forums talking about phpBikeLog and how members wanted to revive this project. I considered joining the team, but in the end it will hinder my development speed. I recently looked into a number of sites that are providing logs for riders and all of these sites are lacking one thing or another. One has functionality, but the the design is horrible. Another has style, but lacks functionality. We will see in the next couple weeks just how much progress I can make with a functional beta.
