Picked up the carbon Giant road bike from Missing Link today in Berkeley with my new compact crankset 50/34. Did a short 20 miler test ride, and I must admit I like the easier spin and lower gears going up the hills. Not sure why I didn't convert earlier. Might need to get a slight adjustment to the chain before hitting the Grizzly Peak Century ride Sunday. Going to skip riding Saturday in order to rest the legs a bit, still have some nagging stiff-soreness. Not enough to be painful, but I'm wondering if I need more carbs in my diet and less protein. I'm a bout 80% Paleo diet these days, but perhaps I'm cutting out too many carbs for the weekly miles and big century rides I'm doing these days. Need to experiment a bit to see if this is a factor. My legs still seem strong and my pace and speed are good. Hot aunny days have returned to Northern Cali, it's about time!
