On the CX bike trying to maintain a cadence of 90 rpm. Getting better at running a high cadence. Then took the single speed mountain bike out for about 20 miles of Exurban commuting to grab some food and waste time at the fucking mall. Fucking mall! Black Star Canyon Road was quite pretty and a nice dirt path, but had to cut it short to stay under 3 hours of ride time. Coach's orders.
