These days I ride up to 15 miles or so in spring and fall, 20-35 miles in the heat and humidity of summer, which I feel the best in. Sometimes just a few miles, and sometimes I've just turned around a block from home when it didn't feel right. . Give me the heat though ! In the cold I wilt , hence I do not ride in winter . Taking time away from the bike completely is quite refreshing . Like this year I decided no more Birkenstocks , and ride in nice soft Crocs, which I wear around the house and love 'em. Last year in the middle of summer I tried, but having ridden NBirks for so long it just felt too weird. So after a winter of not even thinking of a bike, hopping on with Crocs was easy, a little awkward at first being that I pedal mid foot and Crocs are like very soft and flexible. But it felt Great ! So I continued and now I fell better than I ever have in my life of using rigid shoes and Birks. Yep, time away from the bike is wondrous.
My pace, 14-15 mph or so I suspect by the distance I see on google maps and the time I spend. I don't have any onboard mileage thingy , no distractions ! I stop whenever I want, wherever I want , sometimes just to walk with the bike and listen to all the wildlife and wind . Yes, sometimes a bike is just too fast and noisy. I too wear nylon shorts, Ex Offico's . Bamboo and cotton shirts, 70/30 . I finally found my release from polyester, and I don't like wool either and I wanted a real v-neck, not a tight fitting tiny V like Icebreaker . They're like 11 dollars from Amazon, blissfully soft and they're V-necks(or crews) ! yeah ! I also wear some Modal(wood pulp fiber also) shirts too. I could sleep in what I wear cycling :) Most of all, enjoy the ride, no matter how far or short. If it's not fun, turn around, and or make it fun :) > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
