Blue Streak

Decent night at the Blue Streak. Rode a 21:51, 27.5 mph at 371 watts with the first half at 375 and 28.23 mph. The turn looks it takes 20 seconds at just 18.4 mph. Average dropped 1/3 mph before I picked it up again. Held 367 on the way back at just under 27 mph.  http://www.speedy-feet.com/races/2016/0913/blue-ov.htm

Endurance

Had a late evening with Looking East (my band) so I did the 2 hour endurance ride inside with some 90 second high cadence efforts. Set power at 210 for the entire ride. Will be at the Sunflower Revolution ride tomorrow as the emcee.

Cleves

10 Stomps

The stomps were using a 53/13 from pretty much a dead stop and just going for 15 seconds. Then I took 2 minutes at about 200-210 watts between each. I used the stretch at Ault Park behind the pavilion going clockwise. Power averages on these were 535, 525, 560, 566, 563, 570, 560, 576, 584

Cleves Time Trial

So-so night at 370 watts and 22:41 on the time. Power was good on the first 6 miles at 375 and 27.48 mph. The last 4+, usually the faster section, was just upper 350’s and 27.33. I need to push that up to 28 to do well on that course.

VO2 and other efforts

That was a tough session! On the 60 seconds at 110-130 rpms I held 113/346, 116/324, 118/337, 118/339. On the alternating 2 and 3 minute VO2 efforts I held 478/414, 452/401 and 432/360. I had 3 minutes between each. I really fell apart on that last one. On the stomps (53/15, in the saddle starting
