It's all about the Tire Pressure and Body Geometry

Yesterday's anticipated BG experience caused a proverbial bump for the RidingRoubaix road, aka daily blog. To mitigate the lack of a daily update for RidingRoubaix followers, SpokedNSF will humbly combine 7/20 and 7/21 updates for your reading pleasure!

It's overwhelming just how much information and technology a cyclist must retain and/or be aware of, even if they aren't a Sprinter or a distance Pro on the Tour de France. But before any ride, never forget common sense... when it comes to checking your tire pressure and travelling with a pump/patch kit , especially when you are riding to the Bike Shop that will administer the Body Geometry Fitting to your bike
Oops is not a word to describe my 1st blow out and subsequent walking/carrying (not riding) to the SF SOMA destination! Feeling silly and some what out of sorts, fortunately didn't phase the Shop staff or the BG technician, but lesson learned and no major damage done to the wheels (just to the pride). Once prepped (and pumped up) for the BG Fitting, the Roubaix and I were treated to seat(saddle), frame, braking/handle bar and pedal alignment adjustments, as proscribed by both the BG technician and the maker of the Roubaix Comp, in this case Specialized.
The idea of a "Fitting" seems very indulgent , but let me tell you the adjustments made were major riding comfort improvements, both physiologically and technologically(and p.s. I paid for it with the bike purchase). For this novice'n' training, to become a better rider, it's all about comfort and body alignment on the road, whether it's in the City or in Sonoma.
I expect to go back in another month for a BG Check Up, so for now it's back on the Roubaix, with correct tire pressure, to bring you the next installment.
