Default Re: New to cycling

Been training on a roadie at the moment for a Triathlon on the weekend…

I’m wearing my dirt jumping camo helmet, troy lee design XC full finger gloves and I’ve put my downhill flat pedals on the bike, complete with steel pins.

Been doing about 35-40km a day. Just cruising along, not laying into it…did 20km in one hit…took about 40 mins. Not sure how good that is? Or if it’s good at all haha.

Aero bars are a life saver though! Heart rate gets up a tad, lean down onto the aero bars and you can feel your BPM drop…Although they are a tad twitchy to steer with haha.
