Kool ride

Nice ride today, although in a slightly foggy weather. The path was the same as on this ride, but the feeling and the results were far better.

This was also the first ride with a set of brand new Koolstop brake pads. It's a huge improvement over my previous concert-making pads.

Some stats:
  • Total length: 50.49km
  • Ride time: 1:57:28
  • Average speed: 25.79km/h
  • Max speed: 65.8km/h
  • KCal burnt: 1492

 

No record this afternoon...

I made Trst - Sesljan in 35'15", with an average 29.22km/h. I felt this morning's 1h physiotherapy for the ankle.

Next time will be better. :)

Say cheese... x-rayted

Personal records while commuting to work

It's always a grateful surprise when I realize I achieved a new goal.

This week I made a big improvement in my cycling. Two days ago, cycling against a 40+ km/h Burja (Bora) wind, I covered the 10km distance between Križ (S. Croce) and Opčine (Opicina) in 23'06", with an average 25.35km/h. Today I made that same route in 22'40", with an average 26.39km/h. But today there was no wind, so basically I think the two results can be thought of as one. Which is a very big improvement from the previous personal record of 25'05", set a couple of months ago. :)

As seen on a rainy day...

... from Opčine (Opicina), Trst (Trieste) is beautiful. :)

Especially if to take such a photo you made 10km cycling in wind and slight rain. And another 10km to get home again.

It was a nice and short bike ride on the Napoleonica road, which was almost desert. I crossed only a couple of people running down the road. It was also the first MTB ride after I changed the rear derailleur and I hoped the shifting problems were gone, but there is still a little tuning to do on Sexmachine.
