It helps to know others do too so I don't worry that I'm doing something wrong by pushing through that period.Deb Mozurkewichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07139640399480622692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5598985119245988360.post-35744406180402677652011-06-01T18:29:27.769-04:002011-06-01T18:29:27.769-04:00Deb it's wonderful to read about your progress...Deb it's wonderful to read about your progress. I always try to tell people that bike gears were meant to be used and should be used often. When riding off-road its recommended to be shifting every few seconds. When road riding, I still shift often and it makes a difference, especially for real long rides. in regards to being out of breath the first 20 minutes, it's perfectly normal,Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12235831374184428641noreply@blogger.com
