Hard Gears for Today's Ride, December 11, 2011

Bike for Health

Although fatigued and lack sleep, I tried to make the most of my ride.  I rode with 50 x l5 gear, and tried to pound my way up the hills.  It was my hard gear day.  I stood up when the pedalling rate was going down.  Somebody tried to race with  me at Callahan.  He was 34 x 23 but I beat him to the summit at 50 x l7.  And he tried to keep up with me at the flat.  I was 50 x l5 and he said we were at 37 kph.  That was not bad.

I am beginning to get used to pedalling big gear.  Maybe  I can do 40 by early next year
