getting used to clipless ...

I am a really big weenie or the new Trek is really heavy or clipless pedals make a huge difference in how hard you work on the bike. I may go out and get the same pedals for blue Trek so I can really compare. But my legs were whupped going up hills and I am not really going that much faster. I'm not sure what to think of that. It has to make me stronger eventually. I can really tell that you are pulling as much as you're pushing.

I would like to name the new Trek "Silver Bullet" but it's too utilitarian for that.

One nice thing about my increasing bike stable is that I feel like I can work on them a little without fear of screwing up my only ride.

I did the first part, not quite half, of my route to work, out to Antioch. So about 15 round trip, ~13 mph. Though my super cheap computer doesn't have average speed. Should have checked out what the six functions were exactly ... Oh well, this bike isn't really for training.

I made some adjustments and then went back out for about 3 more easy miles.
