An LTG inspired photo...from an odd angle.

 

 

Had a really interesting ride today, been working on my cadence in spinning, today on flatttish 42 km ride did the spin the legs on easier gear, found I felt out of breathe but the legs kept going for longer. And when they started whining I just ignored them, had I had more time I could have carried on -even did some climbs (slowly but not too slowly) in the big blade

And managed to lift front wheel nicely over some things ..progress

yah Uni.

Thats how you get stronger.The High cadence spinning is more taxing on the lungs/fitness,but youre legs work slightly less.Thats why the roadies have such thin legs and us mtb folks have the buldging muscles.[emoji185]

 

But seriously,when youre lungs/fitness get use to the high cadence you'll be able to go faster in the heavier gears aswell without spinning,thus building more leg power and the ability to keep up the speed on climbs.

 

In short it makes you faster! [emoji6]

I set out this morning on a ride to a ride.Joined up with 4 others to have a test ride of the 30km route of one of our local races.

 

My kniees are stil hurting very much from a ride earlier this week,so my average speed was very poor.Ended up with about 80km's in the legs when I got home.Ouch!!

The route runs through a few farms and we passed this game camp on one of them.One of the guys got a flat and we ended up making a picnic of it.This pic was on my way home riding alone again.This was an atempt at a new kit selfie.This was going uphill and both my kniees were shot by now,hence the k@k expresion on my face.[emoji4]

these pics have made my day.. what a beautiful place!

I found myself "riding" them, even leaning into on the bends...

not sure if my screen's that clear or the lack of sleep from being a new dad is discombobulating me!

Just did some thorough bike washing and servicing after last weekends dirt ride and found a good place for my Eroica pin. Now the old girl can sit and rest on the wall a bit while the mountain bike comes out for winter. Thought I'd show you what my ugly mug looks like

 

I did not know what Eroica was - thank you - it looks like a fantastic event.
