Tri Training
Posted by Phil on Dec 31, 2008 in Training
Took my new bike (very second hand) Giant Cadex CFR1 for first ride today. 25kms, 57mins 22secs, avg 26.1km/h, max 67km/h, Cadence 80-95.
Very thrilling though hard ride, the exhilaration of high speed and the pain of learning a new bike with different gearing.
A bit about the bike, first built in 1993 and 94 originally with carbon frame and alloy forks, from what I have discovered 1995 on went to carbon aero forks. I have the latter.
