I actually made it home early enough today to make it out on the bike after work! The ride was a real short one, but it was good just to get some bike time in while the sun was still out! I need to start focusing on shifting and cadence, so that is exactly what I did today. I worked on keeping my cadence the same regardless if I was on flat road, going up, or going down. This is actually harder than it may sound. I also got my gearing tweaked a little the other day after our group ride which made shifting tremendously easier! I'm hoping that I will sleep well tonight!

Ride Stats:

Distance: 7.5 miles round trip (just a shorty!)

Time: About 40 minutes

Challenge: No real challenge, just technique

Goal: Work on shifting and cadence for efficient riding
