I went out to do a recovery ride on my training bike. After being on my Race bike for past 5 days I was in for a unpleasant surprise. I knew the race bike was lighter, and much easier to ride and get up to speed but I didn't realize by how much. My easy recovery ride was much harder than i was expecting. Riding at the same effort the speed difference was amazing. There seems t be a good 3 mph difference. I need to change out the rear tire because it is ready to blow. I have been the bike on the trainer and rollers so I was not too concern but going out on the road is another thing. I forgot to bring my spare tire with me come to think about it. I did look at it as I pulled the bike out but I never even gave it a thought to bring with me as I normally have done for the past month or so. Well the ride was nice legs feel much better they were really tight. Another recovery ride should be good for the legs. I also think I need to raise the nose of the saddle just a tad. I have too much weight on the my arms causing a lot of pain in the forearms and may be why my lower back is also hurting so much.
