One hour pedaling, one hour running

Sat. I rode around my block, to consider if I would be safe to ride out on the Trace. The ride informed me that braking the right lever/rear wheel is awkward. I can do it though. Also, a couple of times I hit a bump in the road, and with my right hand and cast on on the bar, my hand got quite a jar. I could feel a twinge of pain in my thumb. (I think I am going to get a sponge of some sort to make resting places on the bar.)

So, because of those, and because of the time involved in driving out to the Trace, I stayed home and pedaled on my Rivendell on a Blackburn TrakStand. I was pleased with how well it did. I rode one hour, looking at the watch off to the side about every ten minutes, hoping 30 minutes had passed. Then I went out and ran, did sit-ups, and torso rotations, and jump rope, for about another hour.

Still hoping to ride Alpe d'Huez.
