So baseball season is at full throttle, and with me coaching, I hardly have time for anything but work, baseball and sleep. So I haven't been on here in awhile. I'm still commuting with the Kat and I noticed something today..
Normally I have JUST enough time to get home from work on the bike, change and go to practice. Left a bit early today and decided to detour down one of my back roads going home.
It's got a long sweeper, speed limit 55. Today, just loafing along, traffic opened up, and when I was exiting the turn I realized I was going @75mph..oops..
Then right near my house there is a hard sweeper, speed limit 40mph that I usually hit at 45ish...today, nobody in front of me....exited the turn at 65mph....and it didn't "feel" fast.....
I'm getting deeper and deeper on my lean angles without trying. And I'm having to actually make an effort to shift my body, so I don't drag a knee.
Is this normal now that I'm riding everyday again....it's been almost 3 years with the Kat. And even with all the downtime working on it, and just commuting mainly, I've put on almost 20K..............
Not alot to many of you, but when your commute is 16 miles each way, and I rarely get to "just ride" unless it's Fall.......that's adding up I think.......
