Night Before First Ride Jitters

Ok this will be short and sweet,

No Jitters.

Next Post; Our First Organized ride.

All kidding aside, we really have no jitters. We took a short ride, 15 miles yesterday and we are very confident.

Jeeze it’s only 30 miles.

I put both bikes on a tune-up stand today and cleaned them up adjusted my rear derailleur and front brake as well as making sure there were no visible thorns in the tires. They are pretty, all the essentials are tight, they are lubed and in the van.

Tonight we are meeting my Dad for a Fathers Day dinner and will stock up on some carbs. Sounds a little overboard but the elite riders do it to help with the lactate levels for their long rides. They work up to that and we have done the same thing on a smaller scale. Much smaller.

Drinks, set up a breakfast, get coffee ready and we are done. I know something is always forgotten but why sweat the small stuff. I get to do an organized ride with my son and that is all that counts.
