Cycling Update

I've been riding around pretty much lately. With my two awesome friends who are great at cycling and patient enough with me a newbie to ride with them. I just came back from a 2.5hours long 27mile ride around LA area with lots of climbs and pretty steep descents. I'm so tired now I may fall asleep any second lol.

Let's see where we have been, I'll just list them: GMR (16miles), Big Tujunga Canyon Rd (26miles), GMR-39 loop (30miles), 2 local rides including Rose Bowl, 3 training sessions with my personal coach and today a local ride around LA (27miles).

Next week, we are going up Chantry Flats and I'm going to try to go for 30min - my heart may explode on the way, we will see....

I was sad to see that I have slight tan-lines on my arms and legs. I'll have to make sure to apply more sunscreen and I'm going to wear different length jerseys and shorts so that the tan can be gradual (my master plan). Another sad fact is the saddle pain :( But it's worth it because cycling is SO much fun - I wish I had realized this sooner!!!

  1. sounds like a lot of fun which is glad to know. i would be tempted to do as well but for the saddle pain, plus can't think of anyone active enough to join me.
