Rode a 22:42, 27.1 mph, putting out just under 350 watts. First time this year I had someone chasing me. Had a minute head start that they took 30 seconds off of. getting ready for the KY state senior it’s on the 30th.
Toda I ride a five mile round trip to gym where I’ll do some upper body and core. I’ll teach spin off the bike. Then it’s home for a walk with the dog followed by an afternoon at the pool. Tonight it’s on the drums with the 19 piece big band at Devou Park.
Haven’t done these in a while. Took me a few to get the cadence down that would get the best power.: 561, 562, 621, 561, 603, 578, 592, 626, 568, 576, 599, 546 (car caused me to have a slow start), and 592 in the first set for a 586 avg; 590, 552, 597, 593,

Took it easy the last two days with Thursday off completely and 90 minutes of low end endurance yesterday. Today I did 25 minutes at 333 followed by 10 minutes recovery and then 8 minutes at 324, 12 seconds at a light, and then 12 minutes at 330, all along SR 52 along the Ohio

Rode a rather unmotivated 22:42, 27.1 mph, last night at Cleves. Was having issues with my new Joule 1 that are now hopefully solved but had nothing but current speed to watch and just three other riders at the 5:30 start time. Passed them all by mile 2. The next 8 miles were lackluster. Did

Did 6×6 minute steady states with about 30-60 seconds between, in and out on Riverside Drive. Held 335-343 on all. Headed out for a century tomorrow. Leaving by 6:15 am and looking at right around 5 hours heading out and back to Ripley, OH.
