wanted to join some SZR (Suzhou Rider) yesterday to tian pin shan for a ride but there are some family matters need to take care of so did not join them. so, today meet up with another group of SZR at Giant and rode to Yu Yang Shan. the ride was tough due to weather as well as lack of long distance riding. 2 weeks back I rode to the same place with the same group. my fitness did not really improve. today, got a few cramps on both leg while going up the mountain on the metal road. butt still pain after the long ride, could be due to the saddle that i changed it sometime back.
a group photo from the SZR website. i am third from the right.
traced back my pictures, it been 2 months that i had not been riding for more that 50km per trip. very shameful about this. finally, today woke up early and head to yu yang shan with a group of ten. the sky was clear and sunny. let cut the talkking and here are some pictures for your viewing.
in sumary, my fitness has drop tremenously, the whole trip was 95km and i was having butt pain, ankle pain. look like i have to restart the whole riding but the temperature is getting real low of 2 to 10 this week. it will get down further to 0 to 5 in the next few weeks. i wonder how can i do the riding. maybe wait till spring.
www.szriders.com is organizing for a leisure cum mountain riding to suzhou east mountain this saturday. during the weekday i was planning and making sure that i do not have any event crash with this not so leisure ride since i would like to make another trip there. my first trip to the place was a torture but i believe this time, the total of 150km will not be a problem to me and i am going to enjoy it. i even push back my nanjing trip with my family to sunday so that i could join the ride but...
it rained two full days on thursday and friday, the organizer fill that due to that, the event is postphone to sunday, so... i am not able to make it this time round... just my luck... sigh...
why? i had not been riding for long distance or mountain riding for at least 4 weeks or 28 days or 672 hrs, . my physical is dropping... blame it to the weather or maybe just my laziness... knn... don't know what i have been doing the past 4 weekends... nb...
added a goods rack to my oyama skyline pro. this aluminium rack is very light weight and cost 50rmb including installation at the beatle down at suzhou city. with this rack, my dear can ferry keith to/fro the nearby mcdonald. good value for the money spent.
I usually will feel butt pain with my current saddle when I ride long distance like 100km, so as I was at the Trek store, I browse their saddle and purchase one. This saddle costs 188rmb.
