Cycling

I know I've been busy lately (namely sorting out the house and learning to drive!) but since it was a dry day ( I would say nice but I won't) I thought I would take my bike out for a ride - the longest I've been on my new bike is to the end of the road and back. Also I wanted to test out a new app. on my phone which is call MiCoach and using GPS measures your speed, distance, calories (not worried) and time - and you can see your results afterwards and it puts your route on a map. It has charts etc showing you your speed/elevation etc throughtout the workout (It does running, walking, cycling and randomly nordic skiing) - I've actually found it very useful.

Now I was out for 17.34 which got me 4.24km and was a good test ride because it means I know there is a few adjustments I need to make on the bike - namely moving the seat forward a bit. Also one of my biggest problems is the gears - I am struggling to use them effectively. I am looking to going out again - even if my *flat* route definatly wasn't flat!
