Cleves TT

According to my data, 361 on the fist half and 359 on the second so a 360 average; my data is missing a few seonds here and there but we can assume those seconds would have been at higher power anyway, right? yet, my time was slower at 22:39; not bad but not as fast

Did about 36 miles late this afternoon including the usual ride to Elkmont and back (1900′) and added in the Roaring Fork Motor Trail. I think its the hardest short climb I’ve ever done.
