Need to check off one more box in my bicycling journey

Got hopelessly lost in the trail!

After riding from home on Alpha Loop, I did my heartbreak hill on Northwinds Parkway and then rolled down Kimball Bridge for half a mile before entering Alpharetta Greenway. This was the first time I took this entry. I thought I turned north and was hoping to come out at Webb Bridge Road from where I would go home straight. After about 20 minutes or so, I started paying attention to my surroundings to look for clues of Webb Bridge approaching. Instead, I popped up on Mansell Road! I had clearly turned south instead of north!!

Ah! well… took a picture in the parking lot, one swig of water and biked back to the Starbucks next to home!

Do you notice anything different?

Got tired of the cars from behind (if there are cars from front, I cannot often detect the noise of cars from behind) enough to put in two side mirrors. They solved that problem but now extended the length of my handle bars a lot. It is tricky to get the bike in and out of garage without hitting the motorbike or car. I will try this for some time and eventually might go to the digital solution (rear camera).

The coincidence is eerie!

Found this on the internet. What caught my eye is that this is EXACTLY the curve I am on. Till the fourth point. Exactly in the same sequence. (I would have never thought I would actually move from Apple watch to Garmin!)

Now I am curious about what does “Go Clipless” even mean. Also, can I skip the next step, please?

The real reason I started biking

Since Sharmila and I have started spending quite some time in the water, I sat down to do some math. And this is the conclusion I came to: A shark can swim faster than me but I can run faster than it. So, in a triathlon, it will all come down to who is the better cyclist! 🙂 🙂

Coffee ride

After biking to the bar, now biking to the coffee shop to meet a friend. Between sleeping off in the bar and waking up at the coffee shop, this bike riding has been a serious hysteresis curve for me!
