Default Cycling update

I don't know if I mentioned it, but I did end up getting a powertap rear wheel. Been happy with it. A lot of fun and very useful in keeping track of how much work I am doing and how I am improving or regressing.

I started cycling again end of June 2014. I put in 1000 miles by the end of the calendar year. Took the entire winter off, and now back riding a bit. Only about 330 miles for the year so far, but that puts me ahead of last year. But perhaps behind my goal of getting 2000 miles this year.

Just ordered a new split-saddle seat. I have had my el cheapo factory seat, and it is starting to fray around the nose. So I'll see if this new seat is more comfortable. Selle flite gel.

Strava has been fun. Have tried Zwift with the trainer, but only a couple of times.

Still haven't done a single rally. And not done even a metric century on a training ride. Pretty pitiful. Have thoughts about getting into velodrome racing locally but don't have the fitness yet. Nor the time.

so that's my cycling update.
