While getting ready it occurs to me, my shoes are in Wilson, bad karma. A spin around the parking lot and I realize I can pull a Doc and ride in Merrill clogs. Kinnie takes pity on me, although I think she is thinking this is going to finally be a NS ride, so she offers me her running shoes. Fortunately we wear the same size and I now have shoes with a back that will stay on my feet. However due to Kinnie's foot strike pattern I battle all day to keep the right foot on the pedal, Kinnie riding behind me says it looks like my foot is falling off the pedal all the time. Lucas says not to worry we will take it easy just spin up the hills. Off we go and I immediately recognize the red cross ride route, the hills begin in Nashville, again Lucas says not to worry we will take rt turn and all will be flat. As I take my turn at the front I hear Lucas and Kinnie discussing the route, something about cow Rd and Jim's thighs will be burning. Sure enough cow Rd starts with about 2 miles of winding, down hill, and what goes down must go back up. Yep about 2 miles of climb, fortunately the grade is a gentle2/3% and rather enjoyable. Then it is back to the red cross rt, so much for the flats, and we finish with the up hill approach into Nashville. A whole new approach to training, riding with no clips, you realize just how important the up stroke is, especially climbing and sprinting. 37 miles, 18 avg, not bad for riding shoeless. A Great day to be on the bike. Jim Sent from my iPad -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CyclistsOfWilson-COWs" group.
