Because I was hella bored earlier today, I rode “my” bike, it was relaxing.  I have to admit that it was a totally different experience.  This bike, while still a hardtail, has a much nicer fork/front suspension than my older bike, has mechanical disc brakes, and much fatter tires, and it only has 8 gears! Yes, I said 8 gears!! not 18, not 21, not 24, not 27, but 8 gears.  There really wasnt much of a difference other than the “unnatural” feeling of not having as many gears at my disposal, the actual amount of effort I had to put into pedaling was about the same.  It was definately interesting, specially when I realized that one of the reasons I wasn’t moving as fast as I’d liked to was because my seat was way too low.

According to my Polar hrm I rode for 1 3/4 hours and 1000 calories later, I was back at home.  I need bigger hills so that I can get my heart rate higher and I can burn more calories.

I took a 2 hour nap earlier, I was fighting it the entire time, but I decided not to fight it in the end, I cannot sleep now.  I should’ve gone bike riding then.
