I'm getting rid of the clunker! It bite my butt today. Ouch!
It's time to update and unload the thing. But, anyway, I rode 65 miles yesterday and 65 miles today and my ass is aching. Actually, I'm fine sitting on a normal chair.
Personally, I don't think that there is a comfortable hybrid seat because you are sitting up right and moving your legs up and down. It's like two sticks and a flint rubbing together. No wonder my ass is on fire.
Yesterday I rode quit a lot on very fine rocks, some call chat. There was lots of drag on the way back heading into the wind.
Maybe I'll sell both the hybrid and the old road bike and get a nice new road bike. Maybe I'd rather have an aching neck and shoulders (Ibuprofen helps that!) rather than a slow dragging ass. The bike is just too slow.
Yesterday and today each riding 65 miles took me right under six hours on the hybrid. On my road bike I can do 100 miles under eight hours. And my ass didn't hurt but just a little bit. Because on a road bike your weight is more evening distributed and you are more balanced.
Now, sitting her, I'm about to fall asleep. Oh, I forgot I was up at about 4:30 AM.
Now that it is all over with..and I survived. I was going to say, that it wasn't that bad..but it was.
Time to take a shower....then nap.
I'm doing better I'm not eating like a pig when I ride. But, I just ate part of a hamburger. I needed that.
Later..
