Balance of life Balancing between studying, hobbies, sometimes work and life.

The spring

It has been a while when I wrote last time. But better late than never...
I had to wait for two weeks for my own bicycle until I got it back from repairing but now I have it and it has all new components. And it is much nicer to cycle than with old components. Or it is just that winter has gone and so is stunned tires, so it is generally much easier to cycle now. Who knows?

I have also cycled quite well with my new bike but still I should bike much more. I have thought that I would cycle this summer about 200km continuously but I have now idea if I am able to do that. This year my longest ride is just 40km so I have to practice until I could ride 200km.

And average speed should be definitely be much more than my regular 18km/h, or biking 200km would take over 10 hours which is just too much. So I have tried to break my speed record on my work travel this week. I tried to get home in half an hour or less but the best time I managed to get is quite exactly half an hour. So I made my new record but did not manage to break my limit. Maybe next week...
But riding home with that speed was much harder than I have thought. And that was about the speed that I would like to ride on 200km ride so I have a long way to go until my shape is good enough.
