I hit the gym several times a week, which is good for muscle building but doesn’t seem to help with the cardio. I still seem to run out of stamina before I want to and have to stop and let the lungs/heart catch up. SO, have started my warm up routine on the stationary bike at the gym to help with cardio. As for climbing a hill, I’ve found it easier if I stand on the pedals and lean forward slightly; course the right gear still has to be engaged 😉 And then I might still have to stop and push my bike up the rest of the way if it’s too steep or too long for my lungs. As has been stated, I need more saddle time too.
zHey there
Talked to the local bike shop owner and I need some more info on the Fischer. Pedals are pretty general, but other than that. How many speeds, new cassett or old style. Mountain bike or street, etc.
zWhat kinda items you short on over there; besides sand mite repellent? 😆
Hi Jeff
Yes, they’re Presta. Took it in today and they warrantied the tube. It had failed at the base of the valve stem. Loaded the bike and took it to Osage Hills to ride. Unloaded and was pushing it up to the stone building to lean it against while I geared up and the front tire blew this time. Didn’t even get to plant my a** in the seat. Loaded up and back to the bike shop. Warrantied that one also. Another failure at the valve base. Running 40#. Went back to the standard tubes, still have the tube protectors in. Didn’t get to try them out though as it was getting late enough in the day had to get home. Plan on hitting Osage Hills this weekend though and will see what happens.
What brand is the Presta slime filled? The didn’t have them at the LBS in B’ville. That’s why the ‘thorn resistant’ by Boulenger (?)
Hope to make it back to Horizon soon and see what’s beyond that 2 mile point. Hopefully not another flat 😉Later, z
Thank you for serving our country. Let us know if the locals appreciate what you and the rest of our men are doing for them.
As others have said , be safe.
