second ride on my Felt Triathlon Bicycle

Today we attended the June St. Louis Tri Club meeting, which was a picnic and a ride of the route for the July Tour de Kirkwood Triathlon. Hubby 2.0 went on the ride and I rode around the park for about 10 to 20 minutes and covered approximately .8 of a mile before I was unable to clip out of my bike clips. So, I fell over to the right and ripped the tape on my tri bars and pushed in my break pad on the front wheel, which prevented me from finishing my ride. I have a lot to learn and practice on when clipping in and out of the clips on the pedals but, I did enjoy myself.

Training for a Tri

Well, today I had my first ride on my new Felt Triathlon bike, which was a different experience being clipped in the whole time. I truly enjoyed the ride, we determined the need to get new bike helmets prior to the next ride on Thursday. Hubby 2.0 and I were out for 31 minutes and rode approximately 5.13 miles much easier than I expected it to be.

Back to posting

It has been a long while since I posted no real excuse other than I've not really had a desire to do so. I have come to realize I narrowed the blog unintentionally my original intent was to discuss the events which go on around me and their impact on pursuing the "Terminal" degree. I allowed myself to focus just on the degree rather than the broad scope of things. I'm contemplating starting another blog to focus on other stuff I'm interested in and allow this blog to continue to be just information related to the DBA in Accounting. When and if I start another blog I'll post a link here.
