Passed 200 Miles!
I am happy to report that I passed 200 miles of my 700 mile Ride for Rehab. This morning I temporarily lost my front brake and had to detour to the bike shop, but I still got in 9.7 miles. I have been riding in the morning to avoid the summer heat, but the temperature is usually in the mid-80’s when I finish. That doesn’t seem to bother me, however, as I must have adjusted to the heat and humidity.
When I was at the bike shop I again noticed the top of the line bikes. I am riding a 17 year old Cannondale aluminum frame bike…but the best bikes are now have carbon or composite frames…and the price can go to $5000 or higher. You can get a bottom of the line carbon bike now for about $1200, but the best frame and components are much higher. I think that spending $5000 on a bicycle is probably “against my religion”…so I will journey on with my aluminum frame Cannondale. You can immunize a lot of babies for $5000.
