Guest guest Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 So, what a difference a little maintenance will make. I had been " fighting " my bicycle - after a post-thunderstorm ride along the canal through the mud and the yuck, the bicycle just wasn't performing - I had cleaned it up, but apparently not enough - gears weren't shifting smoothly, the ride felt stiff, the bicycle was making all kinds of noises. Took it to the bike shop for a tune-up and it made all the difference. I rode 20.2 miles yesterday (in the mid-day heat - what was I thinking?) and had a great 20.6 mile early AM ride this morning in the nice cool breeze. There are moments on these rides where my body, my bicycle, and my mind all seem to get in sync and I feel like I'm flying. What a wonderful feeling.
