Happy New Year everyone. We look at the new year with hope courage and much aspirations to be better. And we look at the past year with smile and thought that it was satisfying year.
I for one feel that I have become a much stronger, faster and more patient cyclist. There were things that I did not learn early on.
1. I now can pedal at high gear: 50 x12 for say a km or two. Before I used to believe that such high gear is not for me. I ride at 39 or 34 chain ring. Therefore, these days, I can ride at 30+ kph
2. I can surge, accelerate as I go hill climbing. Before, I literally was just at walking speed while climbing
3. I can ride longer at sustained top speed say 30+ without losing breath or painful thighs for 5 or more kms. This used to be just 2 km or less
On Being ingenious and resourceful
