Going Slow

Kevin says you have to learn to go slow if you want to go fast. With that knowledge, I rode slow this morning. I spent an hour on the bike before work just going slow. Let me tell you, it was actually enjoyable. I cruised around the neighborhood and just enjoyed the ride. I kept my heart rate below 124 bpm and just reaped the benefits. Ok, maybe not reaping just yet, but still working in the right direction. I'll say this though, it is definitely harder to ride slow when you are so used to pushing yourself to the limit. The nicest thing about it is that it is at a pace that the whole family can keep up with. I can incorporate some family time with my training rides.

On another note, I bought my long travel bike. A Rocky Mountain Slayer. I found it used and will post pictures once I have them.
