10 year hiatus
Skated as a youth for fun and as a mode of transportation. Switched to cycling and became a bit of an endurance sport fiend for a bit. Picked this up from our local shop and was really not expecting to be in HR zone 3 and upper zone 2 for most of the ride. pleasantly surprised! another plus is the dynamic nature of skating seems to really show coming from the more static nature of cycling. I’ve got the sore Feet, Achilles tendons, and hip flexors to show for it after 2 10 mile rides. I can say I’m well and truly hooked( again).
also - Ive spent a week on this sub and I’ve already got a supersonic picked out and configured. Seems like almost a different sport entirely. A few concerns I have are lack of community and lack of routes but I suppose at some point you have to be the change.
