Faster and faster, easier and easier.
Today's ride, a mere 4 miles. All flat.
Top speed 27MPH (ON FLAT GROUND!!!)
Average speed including traffic lights 18MPH.
Estimated actual average speed 20MPH.
Comfortable stopping distance: About 30 feet.
At this rate, by the time I get the high gear on my bike, I should be able to hit 35 on flat ground, sustain at least 20 for > 10 miles.
More importantly though, for the first time since the accident I'm really enjoying bicycling again. I'm doing it for fun, for speed, for thrill. No more panic attacks and cold sweats. Rawk!!!
