Certainly not my finest effort. I had a grade school reunion last night that I was in charge of so I didn’t get home until 12:30, slept horribly and was up at 5:30. I didn’t really feel tired on the bike but once we started I just had nothing. The CompuTrainer showed 355 and its

I did these inside. Held around 300 on the tempo efforts and 460-480 on the 1 minute efforts. Had some cadence variation as requested on the 15 minute efforts (every 5 minutes going from 100 to 90 to 100) but not so much on the 10 minutes, just kind of held the power. I do

Went outside for these. Only about 50 degrees but felt like getting out. Used the flat section of the Ault Park crit course behind the pavilion starting near the chicane on each side. Here is the power/cadence date: 394/110, 470/109, 471/109, 472/107, 447/110, 446/114, 477/115, 475/119, 461/116, 486/111, 490/114, and 450/116 for set 1. Set

I did these inside as it was too cold early in the morning (30’s). Pushed cadence above 125 on most, averaged from 26mph to 29 mph (second set mainly above 28) and power in the low 400’s. In a typical 30 second all out I’d be 600+ but looking more for that high blend of

377 and 384, inside. I always have some trepidation doing these inside. The 8 minutes seems to take 30. I was happy I held about the same as outside. The new bike is definitely more user friendly when it comes to fine tuning the power and the cadence is much more in line with what

This is the outdoor test. I’ll do the indoor later in the week. I was hoping I’d average in the low 380’s but more like 377 with 380 and 374 being the results. I used the same road in the same direction for both. I started near Beterra Casino on 52 and went to just

I’m still in the 4-5 hours per week. This feels great after months of training and racing. Next week I have two days with the 2×8 field tests, one indoors and one outside. Should be interesting. Power should be the same on each but the indoor is certainly more daunting mentally. I have the new

This week and next have limited riding of just 4-5 hours. Kind of nice after riding 35 time trials and putting in lots of miles since January. And I’m adding in more hiking. Photos are from todays ride.

Nothing too crazy here. I kept power pretty much at endurance pace and cadence as high as I could given the terrain (avg 210, 85). My 5, 10, 20 and 30 minute sustained power averages were upper endurance, 250-260. That completes my four hours for the week if we include spin class yesterday. I’ll hike

Great ride from Point Pleasant, OH to Augusta and Maysville, Ky, to Aberdeen, Oh and then north to 125 and on to Russelville and Georgetown before heading back to Point Pleasant.
