Since the bike is in the shop and I pushed myself yesterday with the HIIT work out, I did a level 2 ride for an hour with a 5 minute cool down.
Hopefully this training will make those climbs easier.
My bike is in the shop for a tune-up. Not only did I need my front innertube replaced, but I needed everything replaced. I needed a new chain, new rubber on the rim brakes, new cables, new everything.
Oh, well. I did an HIIT workout today on an indoor bike to build strength. Going uphill sucked yesterday.
I wanted to start the first ride of the month exploring Golden Gate Park and riding off road. Well, unfortunately, my ride ended short due to a punctured innertube. I didn't realize that the front tire wasn't holding any air when I fixed up my bike on Friday. Whoops. Oh well. It's a long month. I'll just enjoy the view.
Found a beautiful Bianchi Randonneur that was modified for gravel rides. Had to pick up this beauty and will be riding this bike for the September Challenge.
