I wanted to get out much earlier but didn't sleep well last night. I still have the after effects of the upper respiratory infections but am much better. The test ride was a grand success for the rear derailleur, shifted great no hops, skips, drags or out of normal noises. The only thing I felt that might be out is the saddle height which I will measure as soon as I am done with this ride report. So how was this ride, great question but better one would be... how did I feel? One word, "PAINFUL" everything hurt except my desire to ride, lol! I couldn't believe within the first. 6 miles I was feeling pain, I thought it would go away as I warmed up, it just got worse as more body parts got into the pain game. Pain is the name of the game but this was insane and all I could do was laugh, bare it and continue. I should have figured something was up when I was getting ready by rubbing on my joint ointment and feeling awkward. The chest cold and missing many days didn't help. Glad I got the ride in otherwise it was very good and I enjoyed it especially when I was finished, LOL! I did want to test Ride the Foil to see if the rear derailleur is better but now I can't remember if I readjusted it. I guess I better check that out tonight before taking out in the next few days. The Tarmac is all good!
