Please exit the ride......

Such an odd day it has been. A lot has happened today yet really nothing happened here at home. Today I feel that maybe life can get back to some normalcy. Today I get some one's attention back. How long will that last remains to be scene. It really is out of my control. I've been patient and supportive and now I need that in return. Right now the roller coaster has come to a stop and we all got off. I'm hoping not to ride that ride for a very long time.

So what did I do with my time today? I went aero. A very big step for me. I now have my bike ready for some serious mileage. Only one thing missing........a comfortable saddle!! With the changes made to the bike I now am sitting more forward on the bike and it hurts! My bike guy told me what seat I should try and for $85 I could of bought it, but I'm a sucker for a deal so I came home found the same saddle online for $30 less. So until then I'll sit in the upright position so I'm not in pain after my ride. For now I'll have to practice clipping in and out of the pedals. When the new saddle is added I'll be able to ride in the aero position. I was the first one to try the new aerobars that he just got in. They are adjustable and for a road bike that comes in handy. He was able to compensate for my short torso by bringing the bars closer to my body. I was told that it takes some practice getting used to the position and feeling stable on the bike. At least a have awhile to use them on the trainer. Can't fall off the trainer!

Glad it's Friday. Chloe is doing better little by little. I was really worried there a few days ago. But we are getting the hang of it. I still adjust my schedule for her and not much else is getting done around here. But I do have a very very happy puppy to show for it.
