Me 1: Road 0
Well, this morning I took the new bike out for what was probably my first ride outside of the gym for about 4 or 5 years.
I have to say that the whole 'riding a bike is something you never forget how to do' rang true (thankfully) and that the past few months in the gym made the whole experience much more pleasant that I think it could have otherwise been.
I also managed to use the clipless pedals without any kind of drama or disaster, and I have to say the difference between riding locked in vs. riding regularly is quite noticeable. As apprehensive as I had been about this whole 'riding across Finland idea', today gave me a great confidence boost.
Finland ain't all that.
