A couple weeks ago Joe and I tried out road "racing." As I said before it was my 4th time on a road bike. 50 miles later my hands were pretty sore. Joe wrapped my bars with a thicker padding that has a gel insert where my hands were the sorest. We will get to try it out tomorrow and see if it makes a difference. The weather forecast for this weekend looks so much better than last, sunny and low 70s, some wind. We'll take it. Tomorrow we are riding in a 300K brevet that starts in Le Claire, Iowa, and follows the Mississippi north to just south of Dubuque, then we turn around and ride back. Wish us luck on the 188 miles, it will be my longest road ride. I am very excited!
