Chain Love.com

I don’t think I will forgive my coworker for introducing me to a “Woot” for the cyclist driven by Backcountryoutlet.com.  For those not familiar with “Woot” sites like this, the main idea is to take a seriously overstocked item which has likely become discontinued and discount it drastically.  “Woot” is cool in that the cost for shipping for 1-3 of the current deal is just $5.  Chainlove.com typically sells cycling products more than 50% off retail price and for a new cyclist like myself, has really brought the bargain hunter out in me!  I have placed 7 orders at this point and the first 2 arrived from Salt Lake today.  My Shimano cleats disguised as trail running shoes and my winter nickers!  Not sure I like the whole unitard or suspender look, but thankfully you cover it up with a jersey 🙂

So if you like good deals and are into cycling, check out Chainlove.com.  Be forewarned, you may get sucked in and have to remortgage your house!  LOL

Cycling….Less than 16 min from World Market Home :)

As I have been cycling, I have discovered that the temperature makes a difference.  When it is hot, especially humid, it seems to be harder to pedal.  Now that I am 30, perhaps my old joints mind the humidity ;P

15 min and 45 seconds, 5.21 miles, 19.3  avg mph, 31.9 max mph.

Granted it was downhill most of the way, but I am pretty happy that I averaged close to 20 mph!

 

Cycling Progress….
