Day 43 - Cycled at least almost 1 km of 180 - happy day

So I finally got an exciting opportunity. Took my bike for a ride. I am actually considering to name my bike, maybe it brings some good luck. I dressed up, got my helmet, got my bike, got outside and first time I tried on the cleats. Strange feeling, but once I started going it felt interesting, my leg worked differently than without cleats. I pulled with one leg and pushed with another one. Constantly wondering when I am going to fall. I've heard that it happens when I forget that you're having your shoes locked in place.

So I drove almost 1 kilometer and then it happened. My luck, rear tire blew with a bang. Now I think that I need whole new tire with inner tubing. Most likely it was the same problem for the first time. But the trip was impressive. I only have to cycle 180 more that today. Not very hard, I might say.

Somehow my Polar H7 heart rate monitor didn't want to cooperate with my girlfriends phone, seems like Sports-Tracker issue, which is a shame. http://www.sports-tracker.com/blog/2014/07/16/the-biggest-android-update-of-the-summer-is-out/. I don't want to use Endomondo, which apparently supports it. https://support.endomondo.com/hc/en-us/articles/203472747-Setup-guide-for-Polar-Wahoo-Zephyr-and-Garmin-heart-rate-monitors#Polar.
Sports-Tracker people. Fix my issue with H7!!!

Anyways some footage of my awesome bike (which is still nameless).

At least max speed is more than I expected and I really didn't try. The wind was pretty heavy, when I reached towards to 88mph.

Day 37 - bit rainy weather

So, my bike is waiting for me, I am eager to destroy the road, achieve 88 mph and go back or forward. Imagine, man, with a bike is coming with a speed 88 mph and once the limit is hit, only fire stripe is left behind. I just need some extra fuel for my flux capacitor. Most likely I need dynamo which could power this.

Anyways the weather has been very moody and i felt rather to train myself inside my brain, meditate myself into finishing the small competition.

Based on weather forecast in yr.no seems like that today will be a nice day to make small ride:

Let's wait and see. Hopefully I still can use my phone to track the speed and other parameters or maybe to use my old N9.

Day 33-36 - got a bike

So got a lots of stuff for my bike buying trip, and went to Tallinn and from there to Jüri. Weather was hot. When I got my bike, I started travelling around the area and when I was around 25-30 kilometers my rear tire broke. This is my bike, will make some better pictures later. I've upgraded it a bit already.

At that point of time when my rear tire gave up on me, my left palm started making some trouble. Need to look into aero handles. So I got off from the bike and started walking back to Tallinn to take a bus or train to Tartu. I was in luck, some guy gave me a lift. It was sweet.

Anyways I got home and made some bike modifications. For example, replaced rear tire. Attached new pedals, attached cleats on my shoes, attached water bottle holder, water bottle, pump.

Also my current phone doesn't like Sports-Tracker, actually Sports-Tracker needs Google Play Services and my Android doesn't want to download it, it says that it already has application with that ID. It is a bummer since I really would love to track my trainings, Measure heart rate with bluetooth heart rate monitor and during the training also to measure my blood pressure with my new monitor.
Hopefully the weather sticks and I will have joyful next 2 weeks with my bike before going on swimming training.

Day 32 - got a ticket to train

Finally made up my mind, will go on Train on Saturday morning and hopefully will get my bike by 10 am. The real questions is what should I pack?

• 2-3-4-5 liters of water? Vytautas obviously 
• White bread with chocolate cream?
• Some nasty energy bars?
• Some powder to my nice sweet water which would provide me extra minerals?
• Backpack where to put my items.
• Battery bank for my phone.
• Tyre replacement kit.
• Tyre pump.

Also I need to find pedals for my shoes. Seems that the shopping list is written down.

The second question is what software to use for my trip tracking. People are suggesting me Endomondo  but I, myself, am Sports-tracker user. Lot's of history there already. Investigation needs to be made. Of-course, today, I need to go to bed early to get on the train in the morning.

Day 31 - bike ride contemplations

Interesting day. My leg has became walk-able again, small pain is left but getting better. Still no running for some time, I want to get it fully healed. Applying some balsams on top of it, at least it doesn't hurt anymore all the time, which is nice, most likely cycling is doable already. Cannot wait for my vintage bike. Only need to find how to get to Jüri. Probably cannot take any express bus there. Will make some phone calls to bus companies in the morning to find out what is the best course of action.  I need a bike.

There is also the topic of me getting back to Tartu from Jüri, either to find a train stop, travel some distance with that wagon and then trip around 100 kilometers back or should I go full crazy and go the whole distance? The psychiatrist officially pronounced my as sane person. Which is nice.

The other topic is the matter of gear which I need to take with me when purchasing one. I have no clue about bikes and I haven't driven one for ages, like 10+ years. I definitely need special pedals. Lots of water, some energy bars, battery bank, as my phone screen is still busted and new one isn't yet arrived. Replacement phone holds barely to the end of the day without charging and doing nothing more than few phone calls, but the screen is responsive although it is scattered and half of it is just black. Route needs to be tracked.

Unfortunately I  still cannot find my bluetooth heart rate monitor, most likely need to search new one, but to be truly honest, I haven't looked much either. Also will take my blood pressure belt with me on that journey. Will get some fun stats.

Also was exited to get an appointment with a hematologist but the lines are huge, it will happen in September, too bad, cannot get insight of my iron awesomeness.
