Dividing my rides — Trividing actually — into 50 Airbike 50 Halfbike and 50 Fixie

Showing my age I suppose

I delayed apparently until the final day

We had a rainy morning so I took Echo around the virtual block. She’s still way harder for me than was Aurora

I finally understand that odd number-teethed rear-cogs work better that even numbered-teeth but I still went out on 16 teeth in back. Today had very little wind and about 55° at 1 in the afternoon.

I feared there wd be many Christmas Bikes out there but I was nearly alone

Very pooped today so a short one. Still learning the console and adjusting to the increased difficulty

She is a much quieter much tougher ride than Aurora. I reverted to a 20 minute 3 sprint ride and got good plateaus

Her fan-blades are wider longer and Cupped to grab more air. Standing sprints longer than a minute now impossible for me. Looking forward to putting more effort & getting less speed for a few months.

She’s Lovely

Aurora’s monitor no longer stays charged. New batteries don’t change that. O suppose 5 years was a good long life. I’ve ordered a Rogue to handle her duties.

I rode indoors again today since outside was 25°

I’m at number 43 on 12-3 and I wanted to get 50 indoor rides this year. So . . . 7 more is possible but unlikely. Tomorrow will be warm enough for an outdoor ride anyway.

I switched over to 18 teeth in the back and rode up some hills. Very windy out there which calls for lower gears but downhill pedaling is very unpleasant on 18 teeth. A trade-off
