Atfer Work A.C. criterium!

So, I dusted off my road bike and gave 'er a go after work tonight. Every Tuesday and Thursday the American Classic folks get together and do the "Woodlands Crit." For Neal and myself, it was our first time back since before the time change. I got in 13 miles, then Neal and I did a low gear interval, and after, I couldn't get back into my big ring. This was the first ride since I installed my 53t big ring, I swapped it from my 48t- which went to my commuter bike. I settled with 14 miles this evening, Neal put in 15.5, then called it quits.
I had to use Jonathan's 11 year old Specialized helmet, because I forgot mine somehow. I would have ridden without one, but Ellen doesn't appreciate helmetless riding, so I used the ancient brain bucket. I haven't looked at my bike yet to adjust out the problem, I'l wait. I may ride into work tomorrow, that just depends on how I'm feeling when I wake up... so, for now....Goodnight.

Lisa Jane, You are correct with your brain bucket guess. Most road bikes are 18 or 20 speeds. Mine, for example, is 20 speeds. It has 10 sprockets back on a cassette on the wheel and 2 chainrings or sprockets up on the pedals. The sprockets up front are called a little ring and a big ring. The little ring is for riding up hills, warming up and riding easy. The big ring is for going fast.
