I thought that was good idea to make our bike trail in our garden which has turned to miserable gray and brown color because of California water crisis and water saving rules. At least it looked more cheerful, because of the circle line. And Mr. WhP has been enjoying so much that I was happy enough but I sometimes got jealous of him. Because my bad balance sense couldn't improve overnight! Damn, damn.... my left foot and both arms and lower part of my body!! Even though I practiced a little bit, my psychological heavy lock got my body, and it is getting worse. I don't like to ride on narrow path!
I got frustrated and got mad about myself and depressed.
Oh, well, I'd better to ride on paved road. And we did. Unfortunately my right toes cramped after we rode 10 miles, so we went back home. Strangely Mr. WhP's big toes got numb when he got home back. Of course he rode rough garden trail quite a time before.
It sounds very old folks.
Today's record:
Distance, Average Speed, Max Speed, and Time
I have continued working on our garden trail yesterday. Mr. WhP is always test cyclist, and I'm watching carefully to find better line to make. Finally I made better, because he said so yesterday. But it's too late and I was very exhausted from using a heavy mattock.
So I was excited to try our garden trail this morning!
First I decided to try riding on the gravel path again not putting weight too much on the handle. But I forgot not to look at the direction which I shouldn't go.
I have stomped on my favorite flower. "Sorry, flowers!"
Riding on gravel is so hard for me, because I loose balance so easily. I know I need faster speed but my left foot didn't come up to pedal quickly.
OK, on dirt will be much easier. I could go through compost box and tall kale, but the next curve was up slope and my left foot got chickened to pedal faster and I lost my balance. agrrrr...
How about letting my left foot start instead of right foot pushing down to start, so I can put my right foot on the pedal much quicker. ummmm.... I was thinking very hard.
It worked! But left foot starting is so awkward; I need practice more.
OK. Bumpy surface ride was finished today. Let's go road bike!
At beginning I decided to use 2 for back gear and pedal faster. I was so scared to use small number before because my balance was worse and I couldn't pedal so fast. Now I thought I might be able to pedal faster than before. And I did.
It turned out that was an excellent start. I didn't get tired so much as usual. We rode 18 miles!!!
Average Speed, Max Speed, Distance, and Time.
When I rode 7.5 miles, we had to drink water and we needed restroom so we went back home for that, and also we ate something quickly. I ate half banana and almond milk, and he ate small piece of almond chocolate and half a banana, and we both drank water again to restart.
It was fun ride. I noticed some parts of body got stiff. So we did TV stretch for just 15 min.
