So I did a 20 mile ride yesterday. I reset the averages on the new meter then hopped on and took off. I was bucking a headwind most of the time, and there was some inclines I had to stay low geared for (nothing extreme). Total time was 1:06:45, and top speed was 25.9mph. My average speed was 17.8mph, which honestly is complete bs because this crappy bike threw the chain 4 times - oh and more fun than that was when I wiped out once trying to avoid hitting some dude walking in the bike path. Yeah it was ridiculous looking - I went almost over the handlebars. It left a big gash in my left handlebar wrap, lesser in my left elbow (had to be wrapped afterwards), and scrapes on my left shoulder and hip. Whatever, I jumped back on as fast as I could to keep the workout going.
I think I need to reset the meter while moving rather than from a dismounted stand-still. This I need to look into. The new riding shorts seemed to help with saddle comfort. I was indeed sliding forward into the saddle, which tells me my positioning still isn't right. Hoping for better luck next time lol. Plus, I'll start targeting longer distances.
