Week 2 - Pedaling Circles

Well, we are now in week two of training and I am reminded of the old adage - "just put one foot in front of the either". Of course on a bicycle that doesn't really make much sense since, still, this is what I was thinking about as I rode yesterday. To make the phrase useful I translate it to "remember to pedal circles". I guess I needed a bit of extra help yesterday since I upped the mileage to 42.



The ride was beautiful again and I wore shorts, short sleeves, and arm warmers in comfort. The route was what I will call the "Moraga Loop". The ride is pretty much flat the whole way from San Ramon to Moraga which is good for me now for building base fitness. I figure another 10 days of flat and then I will turn the volume up by adding some elevation gain. On the whole, it was a great ride. I just need to continue pedaling circles and pretty soon I will be turning them for 100+ miles at time over mountain passes, across rollers, and, of course, down hills to benefit all my honorees.
