Blue Streak

Decent time for the 10 miles at 22:04, 27.2 mph avg and around 344 watts, just like last night. Windy evening with a headwind heading out the first few miles. On the way in that really helped add to the average speed.

Cleves August 11

22:50, just under 27 mph avg at 344 watts; not my most motivated effort of the year by far; only had three other riders at the early start time; past two in the first two miles and had sent a faster rider off first so I had someone to chase; caught him in the last

Saturday Steady States

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

Cleves and the rest of the week

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

Steady States

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.

State Time Trial

Very fortunate to win the 50-54 title today with a time of 32:18 for 14.2 miles. Tough course with lots of ups and downs. Very hard to establish any consistency of pacing. Max speed was 40, low speed was 19, had stretches at 28-30 and some at 24. Thats my 20th state gold medal in

Race Day!

I go off in the state time trial championship at 8:22:30, or about 2.5 hours from now. Sufficiently nervous and very ready to go. Drove the course late yesterday afternoon. Same as last year. Some fast sections (40 mph+) and some areas that will be slow. Last big race of the season so want to

Michigan Century

Rode 100 miles here in the Grand Traverse area, some of it in a torrential downpour coming out of Leeland. Haven’t ridden in that kind of rain in a long time. Took it easy for the most part taking 5:15 to complete the ride at around 210 watts. State time trial #3 next weekend in
