What another beautiful day and I’m off for a run the dirt part of the American Tobacco Trail portion off Massey Chapel. Now that I’ve got a commuter bike, I decide I should most definitely commute to run. Sez Gary, “Oh, you’re doing a brick?” Ha! Well I guess I am. I’ve ridden my cross bike to the run trail in the past, but there’s the complication of carrying a change of shoes and whatnot. The Nancy simplifies things.
Here I am returning from my 2 hour 4.5/5.8/4.5 brick (including “rapid” transitions):
That bike is really fun. There is absolutely nothing aggressive about it. I hadn’t realized how much my other bikes, by putting me more forward, always create a mindset of speed, even when I’m too tired or pregnant for anything resembling speediness. Sit on this upright, chill-out machine, and I feel like a sight-seeing tourist instead of a cyclist. It’s an interesting transition. Oh. My run was fine too.
You looks awesome on your commuter bike. I’m still riding my tri bike on the trainer (my only bike) and it’s getting UGLY.
Looks like a lot of fun!
Random question for you (as I look to move my blog to my own website)… what blogging software or program or whatever do you use to make this blog?
