Another Trip Around Haines Point

Did another two laps around Haines Point again tonight - the same ride as Tuesday night, except I didn't get lost in the middle and came straight home after, so it was shorter.

  • Total Distance: 11.88 mi
  • Average Speed: 12 mph
  • Max Speed: 65.9 mph (might be a fluke with my cyclometer, but I doubt it)
  • Total Ride Time: 58 minutes
  • Calories Burned: about 600

Not bad. And it may be TMI, but I can pedal a lot longer than I can sit on a bike saddle. I've got low-end padded bike shorts, and I'm wondering if it would be worth investing in a better pair to make the ride more comfortable.

Keep up the good rides! As

Keep up the good rides!

As for shorts, I've never had particular trouble, but I'd look at different seat sizes & styles, too.

I sometimes get bizarre

I sometimes get bizarre readings of 80mph when I go past one of those electric power station thingies in South Arlington. I assume there's some sort of magnetic field that's throwing it off. Alternatively, you are a better cyclist than me and you really are going 65.9mph.

I can't believe you actually wear diaper shorts and want to invest in a 'better pair'! That's not healthy, and I think you should seek help.

"Diaper shorts"? I probably

"Diaper shorts"? I probably should have clarified - I wear bike shorts UNDERNEATH regular gym shorts. I don't think anyone wants to see my ass in spandex.
