Today I went for a bike ride with Elaine. We rode from her house (near Old Orchard) on a trail up to the Botanical Gardens. It really was much easier than I thought. I still don't shift very efficiently (about 14 miles total). I know it's just a matter of having more time on the bike. I did learn that I can keep a fast cadence, even though I do enjoy just a nice slow peddle.
I hope that I can get myself out on the bike more so that I can work on speed, increased and consistent cadence and being more comfortable shifting gears. *Sigh* That sounds like a tall order for Sunday. I have to remember...my first 5k wasn't stellar either. I have to be proud for just finishing--There's no where to go but up!
