Monday was an off day with some light recovery miles. Also did a little upper body with pushups (100 total), curls, press, extensions, etc. Yesterday was the Cleves Time Trial. Rode a 22:38 or a little over 27 mph. Kind of stuck in that range of time for the last couple months. Hard to get […]
Had big swing on todays efforts. Once again it was 90 degrees and super humid. The first set was 325/375/323/390. Felt good about those. Next set was 319/353/305/346. So-so on those.

This is a tough ride! I’ve done it maybe five times and 100 miles, 6.5 hours, 10,000′ of climbing, solo, is a long day. The weather was great with temps in the 80’s at the lower elevations and upper 60’s at 6500′. Lots of great late season wildflowers blooming at the high elevations. Checked power
