First Outdoor Ride on the Tri Bike

So after a week of travel to Ohio for funeral services, I was able to get back outside for a ride today. So the weather was halfway decent, warmest it will be in at least a week so I decided it was time to take the tri bike off the trainer, put on some clip pedals and see what it is like to ride it outside.



It is like learning how to ride all over again. I wont say that it is "unstable" but it is differently stable and it will take a bit of getting used to.

The first few miles I was kinda weaving a bit, but gradually it settled down. Adjusting to the wind was different too. Cross winds made me feel a bit unstable, but again, it is just a matter of getting used to it I think.

I took it relatively easy for 3/4 of the trip and then put some power down on the last couple of miles. Nothing too crazy, just seeing how it feels putting some power in.

It was fun and different than riding on the trainer, and way different than the road bike.
