The Workout: Ride at any intensity for about 30 minutes. Just checking that all systems are a go on the bike.
It's been a really, REALLY long time since I've ridden outdoors. I've just been riding the spin bike inside getting ready for this moment, whenever it would finally get here. The stars all aligned and I got my new tires in the mail, found my puncture proof liners (I hate getting flats), checked and made slight adjustments to shifting, cleaned the bike, cleaned and lubed the chain then took her outside.
It was kind of weird for the first half mile or so. I've been riding on the stationary spin bike for so long, it was weird to feel the bike move under me. It only took a little bit to feel comfortable again, then it was mostly back to normal. I still felt a little unsteady. By the end of the ride though, I felt like I was about 95% back to completely comfortable.
The feeling of being outside and riding again was great. I'm glad I've got my bike back up and working and road worthy.
