It's about the bike - Part II

Had a really great bike today. Being a big girl biking is tough for me. I've got power but it's tough to haul all this up a hill. Still I'm getting leaner and really pushing myself on the bike. My training plan called for a high cadence ride today. I kept it up to about 120 pedal strokes a minute. The route was pretty flat - not too many hills and I was pleased with the 18.9 mph average. I'm liking the bike more. But I've got a 2.5 and 3 hour bike ride planned in a couple of weeks so we see how much I like my bike then. I want to get up to regular 4-5 hour bike rides but I'm having trouble finding routes I like. I don't like a lot of traffic. We'll see what I can find.
