after nearly a week of not riding, we're back on the saddle! Today felt like a cold start, just one of those days that an additional 5 minutes of time in the bed would totally make my day ( that what we all think ) however I dragged myself out of the bed, got on the saddle and went for a ride.
Today's route, BT, Butterfly, X and back Then back to BT. Today armed with a new fit from Faz Boi from Bike 360, we were all set to give the new fit a try on our trusty Profligate29er. My initial feeling for the fit would be that it might be a little too aggressive, originally a 90mm, I was slammed forward by an additional 20mm. However soon, my worries were eased when I managed to crank my way up the rocks of BT. I'm getting more consistent at this AND because of a longer stem, my lines were more stable and I was closer to the bike.
Apart from climbs, I felt an improved performance on the downs as I was able to stretch more. I wasnt cooped up in the cockpit and was better able to control the bike. The fit was awesome and I really enjoyed the ride even more today. In addition, the saddle was pushed back by about 2mms. That allowed my legs more room to move, increasing my pedal efficiency.
Lung busting climb after lung busting climb. that week off has already taken a toll on my fitness. I will need to train even harder if I want to see improvements in my performance. Heres to more pushing harder for the rest of the year!
today: 25km of trail mileage
