Saturday 8:00 am group ride

Saturday 8:00 am boad bike group ride (meets in the parking lot of their Portsmouth NH store)
My rear break line was seized up so I did the group ride with just the front break. I notice after we left I had forgotten to pump up my front tire before leaving, it felt pretty low (found out later there was only 30PSI in it). Also the pavement was wet.

30 PSI front tire

no rear breaks
+
wet pavement

very little control going around corners
+
precision mountain bike handling skills
=
not a big deal
+
too cocky about precision mountain bike handling skills
=
falling and hurting my hip

i didn't fall on my hip but i probably will as i get a bit more cocky later in the year.

It was a nice ride and I think I will do it again. In fact I am thinking I will try to do more road biking in general this year. It’s really good training my legs feel more torky after doing a road rides i think its because I'm pushing bigger gears
