Next day rode 65 to the Jondek River and the following from Jondek to Beaver Creek, 75 miles. Today did 80 from just inside the Alaska border to Tok, AK. Since […]

Mainly getting in some endurance rides here in Juneau before I start the 600+ mile ride from Haines to Valdez. Its not a point to point as we do start outside some towns and end outside others.  I did put in an hour today at 285w, the best of this year. I used an out

The stronger efforts in the past week have brought the projected FTP back up to where I like to see it, right around 320w or 4.2w/kg. 

Best 5 min of the year at 400w, 10 minutes at 375 and 20 minutes at 354. NP for 23:00 at 389. Multiple 2-3 minute efforts with little time between, like 30s to 60s. 

Finally got back outside on Friday for some slightly longer efforts. Had good power given the times and took my HR up to the upper 160’s. Set 4 KoM’s in the process but oen I already had, just rode it faster.  5:20 at 332, 38s at 623, 9:03 at 321, and 7:23 at 300 Today,

Rode 108 miles on Saturday. Took right at 6 hours with power avg at 210, avg mph 18.  Rode some openers yesterday (5 x 1 min on off at 370w) in anticipation of riding Cleves TT this evening. Rained all day so bagged that. Of course the sun is out now. Anyway, did 3x4000m TTs

Took the Speed Concept out so that I could make some changes in the bar position. I slidew them back towards me about an inch. This allows me to sit further back on the saddle in more of a road bike position over the pedals. I used to ride off the tip of the saddle
