Following on from the lovely weather that we had yesterday, today was another sunny day. Cycling home from work in a t-shirt after spending Tuesday trying to keep the snow out of my eyes was a strange feeling :P
I was gonna leave it 'til Sunday to go for a proper spin on the bike, but I wound up taking advantage of the sun and went out this evening instead. This being Germany, and cyclists not being treated as second class road users, there's a cycle path all the way into Munich. I went for a nice 18 km spin in and back, averaging around 30 km/hr, I think. I can't remember what the computer said, but that average is ruined a little by the fact that I got a puncture 500 m from the door on the way back :(
While I had the wheel out for replacing the tube, I flipped it over to the fixed cog, which I might give a short go tomorrow. It'll certainly be an experience... Speaking of which, I stuck the SPDs on today. I have to say, after initially not knowing how to clip in or out properly, I quickly got used to them and I really enjoy the feeling of being secured to the pedals. Makes sprinting a lot nicer! Pics soon, when I get fresh batteries for the camera.
