Bike Log, the Adventure Continues!

First day back on the bike.
I woke up at 4am and meditated for an hour. I would have done pushups after that, however there was no time. I had to jump on the bike and race to work.

6.4mi, 27m30s
29F

Last night I went to karate to practice for my step exam on Thursday. My voice started going hoarse through the middle of the class. I'm not too worried, I know I'll pass, I'll just have to practice without Kis.

On the ride home the computer went haywire, and now displays in kmph.
regardless:
6.3mi, 25m30s. *fast!
55F(!)

I took a new route home, cooled off, then test drove this handsome beauty: Trek 1.2
and what a wonderful ride that was. It'll be mine next week, I put a ~20% deposit on it =)
Minus that test ride, I added a grocery run to the end of my day, and calculated my total mileage since I started riding to work: 135.7 miles.
I cannot wait to ride my new bike and shave a full minute or two off of my time to/from work.

For comparison, let's say my current bike does 0-60 in 10 seconds.
The Trek would do 0-60 in 4. It excels at acceleration, and the top speed was very enjoyable!

You should try out for Ninja Warrior!

that would be so much fun. i'd have to build a course replica and train first, though.

You can ride an extra 20 miles for me... I'm off for a nap.
