Everything is perfect, almost...


I fixed my speedometer. When you have nothing but riding time on the bike, you instantly get patience. I went online and read the instructions manual and found my problem. I fixed the sensors and reprogrammed the computer and voila, everything started working. It was the first time in a long time that I've rode my bike indoors with a speedometer that shows me my cadence. My goal is to keep my cadence around 90 rpm. I could tell I needed to step it up from my previous rides. It was also nice to see my speed and distance travelled. I did a tempo ride today and I got to say, I love this bike, it just feels right and being on the trainer I'm taking my time to adjust everything just perfectly. I think I'm going to start adjusting the rear water bottle holders so they don't get clipped by my foot when I get off the bike. The ride went smooth and I didn't over sweat on my arm. I think the tattoo will be totally healed by next week. The only problem I experienced was with my camera, it wouldn't connect and talk to the computer. I guess the cord is worn from how much I use it. But eventually it came back to life and started working after some "jiggling". This camera is the "terminator", I've fallen on it, bent it, gotten it wet, you name it I've done it to it, and it still comes back to life.
