Originally posted by OceanBlue View PostDid my daily 20 miler. After spending a hour and a half in the bike shop I got my bike refitted. The owner of the LBS also watched me ride and told me some things. These last eight weeks I've been riding a good bit of the time in the hardest gear. Had no idea you were not supposed to because it felt fine to me. He changed the aero-bars to a position that is now much more comfortable. My back still bothered me some but not as bas as yesterday. The pain today could be from yesterday.

Not related to biking but my son, a soon to be freshmen at BYU, was assigned to the Provo YSA 50th ward. It is hitting home that he is leaving in a month. From the barrier islands of North Carolina to Provo Utah. Culture shock ?Last edited by OceanBlue; 07-23-2014, 08:14 PM.

If you send your son's contact info, we might have to see about inviting him over for brisket or something from the smoker. How's that for culture shock?

That's really very nice of you and I'll run it by him and send something your way as the time gets closer. Much appreciated. The selecting of bishoprics in Provo for students must be a huge undertaking. I'm pretty sure his email said the Bishop is a U guy. Should be interesting.

20 miler at day break. I wish I was more of a morning guy during the week because it is so much more mellow on the roads at that hour...cooler too. 134 miles for the week. Not bad given the back and hand problems early in the week that lead to bike being refitted. Next week starts my ninth week.
Snuck in a 30 minute run this afternoon. First run in 8 weeks since Achilles sidelined me. Acupuncture got rid pain but I did feel minor discomfort today at end of run today.
I've got my eye on a spring duathlon.Last edited by OceanBlue; 07-26-2014, 02:34 PM.

30 minute run run tonight. 185 lbs this morning from 208ish nine weeks ago.
RE the quiet chain & cassette, you might try a little chain lube once in a while.

No bread, no potato anything, no sweets. I've haven't had red meat or carbonation in over ten years. I can't remember the last time I drank anything other then water. But basically breads,cakes and pies make me blow up and I love the taste but don't like the weight gain.
No run tonight I'm beat.

Running at night? Plus a 20-miler every day? You are committed!Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.
