I had an awful ride yesterday and need some words of wisdom/encouragement. I figure you never know when someone will say just the right thing, so here's the deal.
My hubby came to ride with me after work. We went a different route that I think I've only ridden once. Curvy road, 55mph speed limit. Not sure I could drive that road at 55 in my car! But the pavement was messing with my eyes. I was having contact lens trouble and couldn't get it to clear, and couldn't find a spot to pull over to put in some drops. Rode about 20 miles before finding a good road to turn off to stop. I was also having trouble with patches in the pavement and dips and places where the road had previously sunken, and had been repatched several times. Hard to explain, I hope you know what I mean. There weren't many potholes, luckily. He said I was slowing too much for the curves, and wasn't even leaning into them very much. I was scared. I don't know if it was just the unfamiliar road, my contacts bothering me, cars piling up behind us, or what. I tell you, it was just miserable. We finally got around to familiar territory, and the last road was good, and I settled down. But it wasn't a very fun ride.
Several weeks ago, we took a ride on a curvy road that I had never ridden before, and I did great. I don't know why yesterday was so bad. Any thoughts or comments are welcome....
