2 Months!

Two months from now Love on Wheels will officially take off!!

The plan is for the whole Love on Wheels team to convene in Ottawa to make final preparations on July 17. Then we'll have a fantastic sleep, wake up and start riding! Even though I've been out riding a bunch so far this spring, I still find the trip a little daunting. Perhaps once I've had my first 100 km ride (which will hopefully be soon!) I'll start to feel more comfortable:)

For now though, I have improved immensely the over the last month and half. I can climb hills more efficiently, ride long and ride faster! My after work rides have gone from 30 km to 50+ km and as the days get longer so can my rides! A 30 km ride now feels like warmup which is the way I soon hope to feel about 50 km rides:) Since our goal is to be riding between 100 and 125 km a day I still have a ways to go haha!

I'm also starting to look like a real cyclist which is exciting...just don't ask me technical questions about my bike unless you'd like to see me slighly confused! Bike maintenance is another area I have yet to explore. If anyone has tips or would like to show me a few things, I'd be grateful for the guidance! As you can tell by my post about opening valves when pumping the tires, my knowledge is limited:)
