Road cycle (Giro) 1:22:16 28.56 km (2:53 / km) +189m 2:47 / km
ahr:134 max:165 shoes: Specialized Comp mountain
I had until 9 to try the Giro on the streets - Sunday morning, but still on the streets. It was also time to try it on some longer hills. Nothing super steep - I think I maxed at 6%.
Climbing was good. Intersection starts we’re good. Downhill stability (60+km/hr) was good. Near the top of the longest climb I noticed the left cleat was a bit loose so I found a place to pull over and use the brand new multi tool I had tossed in the bag.
This put me a bit behind schedule so I came home via the gravel trail. I didn’t get turned tight enough to make the gate at the end of the bridge - so stopped and walked through it. I also missed a tight uphill left in loose gravel. I probably could have just smashed my feet through the long grass, but dismounted again to aim the bike properly.
Home in time for a quick bite and off to the hospital to see the Shelburne mom (currently in Orangeville with a broken hip).
