WInter came back with some snow yesterday and highs in the 30’s so it was another indoor session. Did five 2/2/1 efforts at tempo/steady state/tt pace. Held 280+, 330+ and 360+ on all. Had to replace he hub batteries on the Indoor 400. That wasn’t as much an issue as having to pair and activate

Stages and New Joule

Finally mounted the new Joule and paired it to the Stages crank arm. No problems there at all. Still not satisfied with the mounting of the joule. As shown between the bars its easy to see in the aero position but its not convenient to activate the buttons on the right side of the unit.

 Had my bike fit today with Kathy at Oakley Cycles. Made no changes to the tt bike position and on the road bike installed some shorter reach bars and flipped the stem from level to 3 degrees up. Need to work on hamstring flexibility which was expected.
