New Bike- New Miles


My new bike that I've helped to design and ordered for the trip came yesterday. It's a Rodriguez Rainier, from Seattle Washington. It has two S & & joints that allow the bike frame to be taken down into two parts. Then the whole bike can be taken in a suitcase. It went together like a dream with no problems.

So today I headed out of Urbana and onto the country roads, straight south to Villa Grove. I haven't biked so in Illinois for over 20 years. It was nice to be back. But, it's flat, so the cardo workout has to come from pushing bigger gears.

Mileage: 38 miles
Temperature: average 30 degrees F
Clear skies
North wind (15mph)
