Riding in Cades Cove today came down a hill and saw a guy waving at me. I blew by him and then discovered the bear at the bottom of the hill. I was about 15′ away at this point. A couple of Park volunteers told me to get off my bike and walk back up […]

the last of the tt’s for another week. Held 353 watts for 22:54, 94 cadence.

Certainly didn’t have my A game but I rode a decent 20k. Very windy so I took advantage of that on the way out. Kind of a cross win from behind so the disc wheel really didn’t help. Had decent speed (27.4) but lower power (325). The way back was much slower but I upped

Took first place. One more year and I can move up to the 55+ http://www.usacycling.org/results/index.php?permit=2015-1992&bypass=1

Did two races this morning. In the Southwest Ohio Time Trial Championship I rode our usual Tuesday course, held 357 watts, and too first place. About an hour later I went back out to ride the less than four mile prologue tt of an omnium. Held 367 for 8-9 minutes. Unsure of how I did

Looks like I rode around 23:00 holding low 340’s on the power. We had to use an about and back course instead of the loop we usually use due to security concerns on the base. Also had lots of wind, some helpful, some not. For the second night of tt efforts, rode well.

Interesting ride. Averaged 349 watts, about 9 higher than last week but with the cool air (60’s) and wind (15-25 mph), my time was a minute slower than last week. I didn’t go out hard and really didn’t go at this one with much determination knowing I have the Blue Streak tomorrow and a few

have on the schedule to ride eCleves on Tuesday, Blue Streak on Wednesday, the Southwest Ohio Senior Tt on Saturday followed by the Omnium prologue (at Cleves again) and then the Findlay Flyer TT in Gilboa, OH on Sunday afternoon. Should be doable with some rest between.

I wont give specific names of the athletes I work with here in the blog but just over the weekend one of my clients took two top 20 placings at Collegiate nationals in the road race and time trial. He trained hard all winter and it paid off big this past weekend.

Started at Point Pleasant, OH on Saturday morning and rode into Ripley, across the first bridge into the outskirts of Maysville, into Maysville and then a little further south on Route 10, back into Maysville and across the Simon Kenton Bridge into Aberdeen, OH. From there we took 763 to 125, west to Russelville and
