You forgot to add the point about pushing hard , looking down to find you are only doing 28.1kph, push harder, look down and see 28.2kph, push even harder to find you've only managed 28.3kph......Sunday recap...
Woke up, coffee, bowl of cereal - headed out to the train station.
Arrive in Tokyo early, ride solo for an hour or so... just slow rolling and remembering how narrow road bike bars are.
Noon-ish we head out for the ride...
330 - snag a combini corndog/coffee
4-ish back on a train and home a little after 530.
Eat Indian food for dinner with a beer.
Bed at 10.
1100pm, wake up with a cramp.
hobble downstairs and drink some water and attempt to just stretch things out.
back in bed by midnight.

Lesson Learned?
If you only ride your road bike once every 3 months - make sure you eat/drink correctly for the occasion.
Even if you don't feel you are pushing it... maybe accept you NEVER spin anymore and your body will eventually remind you that you did something out of the ordinary.
Fucking hell... I am telling you, it was killing me!You forgot to add the point about pushing hard , looking down to find you are only doing 28.1kph, push harder, look down and see 28.2kph, push even harder to find you've only managed 28.3kph......
priceless! on the bright side, if you kept at it soon you could be cruising 40km plus for almost no effortlooked down at the trip instead of speed
I was hitting crazy speeds of around 75kph as I got close to home. I swear it only felt like I was doing about 25 through traffic though.priceless! on the bright side, if you kept at it soon you could be cruising 40km plus for almost no effort
Having been without my road bike for just over one month, it's making its journey back to Japan. Got the tracking number last night so I'll be refreshing the Parcelforce tracking webpage every few hours until it arrives at my door. I'm actually quite surprised at how well my gravel bike did as a substitute on my Arakawa morning rides. Will be nice to get back on the road bike though.
It has been in Sheffield, England, being repaired. It should be somewhere between Sheffield and Japan now. It's the Blue Field Cycles.Wait where is your road bike? And what is 'your road bike' anyways?
Nope, I've only raced in Japan.

@armmewitharmony i sent it back on May 10th this year. I was expecting them to take about 2 or three months for the repaint but they turned it around in about 3 and a bit weeks
