3 Weeks, 250 miles
by rider on Jan.01, 2009, under General
This morning’s donut run finished out my first 250 miles on the bike (in just over 3 weeks).
I still make a point of doing some PLP (parking lot practice) every chance I get. Unless I am running a specific errand, I start or end every ride doing some weaves and U-Turn practice in a parking lot.
One thing I found yesterday that makes a big, big difference in enjoying the ride - earplugs. They filter out the sometimes overwhelming wind noise, and still let you hear the other traffic sounds you need to keep track of.
Of course, for a dose of perspective, Sean often puts in 250 miles in a single day - and that’s considered an easy day…..
