I have a number of clients who are putting together great spring seasons from Robin Z in ST. Louis, Katrina S in her first season here in Cincinnati, The UC Cycling team making its first ever appearance at collegiate nationals, Andy J hitting the local tt races, Chuck S placing in several of the OSRS

I rode just the tt portion of todays events. Short course at 3.83 miles. Rode it in 8:47, average power at 378, cadence at 98, 4.9 watts/kg. Overall pleased with that effort. Still a little too cold and too windy for me with temps in the upper 40’s to low 50’s. Won the 45-54 category

originally posted to the QCW google group: The 2014 Cleves Time Trial Series will start next Tuesday, May the 6th, and continue through the last Tuesday in September, the 30th. This will be the 41st consecutive year the series has been held and for that matter held on the same road all of those years.

Did my final prep for the tt’s this weekend with 3×3 minutes with the three minutes divided into tempo/steady state/time trial holding 280’s, 320’s and upper 350’s. Feeling ready. Three events on Friday with the Southwest Ohio Senior Games (1 mile, 5k and 10k) and then the tt with the omnium hosted by QCW on

Three members of the UC Cycling team are headed to the national championships next weekend. They’re the first riders to ever qualify from UC for this event. They trained hard all winter and have been getting the results this spring. Awesome job Paul, Jake and Jamie!!!

Did the second day of 15×1’s with the numbers being 449, 452, 481, 468, 465, 511, 515, 473, 469, 468, 455, 474, 446, 476, 486; avg 472 and normalized 336. A little tired after yesterdays 15×1’s and last nights 55 minute circuit class but overall pleased with he numbers. Always good to get over 500

Went to Ault Park today to do a 15×1 minute efforts. I sued the crit course going in the opposite direction of the actual event and started each effort at the bottom of the course. One minute took me well behind the pavilion, actually about 2/3 of the way across that stretch of road and

Headed to Ault Park to do some 30 second on/off efforts, 16 to be exact. Held 569, 631, 661, 671, 606, 598, 575, 638, 607, 613, 614, 596, 525, 550, 529, and 517. Sorta dying by the end but for the whole 45 minutes normalized power was 345. I actually like these short but intense

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

Headed to Tennessee on Thursday afternoon and was able to gets couple of hours in before the sunset. Did four 10 minute efforts with the first 8 minutes around steady state (330) and then two minutes all out. Held 404, 368, 365 and 370 on the two minute efforts. Have to say my legs weren’t
