Outdoor rides

Now that it’s finally warming up here in the Midwest we’re starting up more outdoor rides at VQ. I’m planning on attending a lot of the outdoor triathlete specific workouts as well as the roadie workouts if I can. I’m actually not as comfortable riding in a group as I should be, and after several months of indoor riding I think I need to ease into large group rides. I should also bring my road bike out of retirement soon in anticipation of these outdoor group rides. I have an old GT Attack road bike sitting in my closet that needs a bit of work done before its road ready.

Saddle update: The Cobb V-Flow saddle I’m trialing right now is a lot better than my old saddle, but… well, I’m still not 100% comfortable on it. I can last longer in the saddle now without experiencing numbness or discomfort, but it’s still an issue on longer rides and it’s still a problem that I think I can work on. I think I’m going to head back to Get A Grip and ask for some adjustments on the saddle position and see if that helps out, otherwise I may have to look for different saddle options.
