Well I can certainly outdo the average person jumping into it but not someone that's doing it regularly.

Edit but yes it is a different kind of work

Best way to get faster:

1) step outside with your bike, determine the wind direction. Ride into it.

2) If no wind, find the hills nearest you and ride them!

3) When on a hill, STOP FACKING DOWNSHIFTING. Ride a reasonable gear (maybe 53x18) and attempt it. You'll be shocked what your body can do if you force yourself. When it gets difficult, stand and mash it out. Consider this a strength work out.

4) On some days, stay in the 39 and spin. Target 90rpm minimum, and make it a goal to maintain a whatever target pace (mine used to be 34kph when I did this).

I found #3 and #4 above helped me the most. YMMV. These days, I ride a ghetto bike with zero equipment assistance. Want to go faster? Pedal harder!!! <3 It's all about the pain man! Embrace the pain! Makes you feel alive! \:D \:D \:D \:D \:D

Go out and buy a good pair of cycling shorts before doing another ride, if you don't want to ball hard in full lycra just throw a pair of baggies over top, it will still make all the difference in the world

Also with regards to shorts, it's another one of those things you don't want to skimp on. I really love the sugio RSE shorts or if you are on more of a budget the RS, both really great shorts, plus they're a Canadian company.

I think part of what made it worse is I put a microfiber cloth in my underwear as "padding" (it did work for a while). That right there is desperation to ride. Put some km's on that and I think it moving around made it worse.

Went to the local winners, no bicycle gear.

Risky: not sure shorts would have made a difference. When you start the sit bones will hurt no matter what you use but literally after they heal up you'll feel much less pain on the next ride.

Jeff: Just come out and ride with us. They are a great group to ride with because they will always stop at lights or slow down so the rest of the group can catch up. It would be nice to get a variety of riders so no one gets left behind.

take a few days off and go buy some shorts. wear them underneath another pair of reg shorts if you dont want to ball out hard just yet.

I agree that taking some time off to let the soreness heal is the right thing to do. MEC has something called a cycling liner which is almost like cycling shorts, but not as padded.

The bibs I got a winners were the Sugoi RS series. At 40 bucks I think its a steal. I paid 90 for some biemme bibs and the padding is just as good or even better.

I'm gonna check out the winners by my work to see what they have. I'll relay what kind of stock they have (or not)

FYI, coming as a previous winners head office employee--not every store will have the same stock (but we all knew this). Especially, special items like cycling gear are sent out to stores with known sales volume for that type of stuff. So wherever you saw it, that's likely a good athletic apparel store.

For that sort of stuff, off the top of my head I recall Leaside and College park being good stores for that.

I am down to get/wear shorts, but I want to find a decent deal. Either MEC or maybe that winners in Oakville. Everything else is $100+

I want to wait and get proper gear over the winter, just need something to hold me over now.

A singlespeed and hills is awesome for strength training. I got lazy with mine over the past couple of months and stuck with the geared bikes, though.

Speaking of little bitches...I thought you wanted to ride today?

I did the exact same route as yesterday and made a huge improvement. For some reason I just felt a ton more energized/motivated despite being hung over most of the day My endurance is definitely crap, I bet in my good old days I'd average low 30's on this ride without an issue. My legs have juice, but I don't have the lungs to back it up \:\(

I also put together a budget cycling outfit, lol...shorts are courtesy of American Eagle. The material is a bit thicker and it was actually a decent ride with minimal pain. I am just upset I couldn't crack 50kmh for max speed \:\(

Also, quick question about the upswing pedal (it's a new concept for me). Do you do that mostly upon acceleration/hills or you emphasize it during your entire ride? I focus on keeping a good movement going on regular roads, the upswing really helps on acceleration and hills only (for me anyway).

lol

and goes to american eagle to buy shorts but doesnt buy proper riding shorts?

upstroke should be constant for the most part. also concentrate on riding with your lower body. if your shoulders and/or head are bobbing around(while on a normal cruise) thats poor form.
