Beautiful day here with temps in the upper 50’s to low 70’s so I did the field test early in the ride and then did a century. I’ll take tomorrow off. The field test went really well. I held 408 and 394 for each 8 minute effort. At first I thought my computer had to […]

interesting evening: rode one of my slowest times of the year at 23:06 but held 355 watts avg, one of my better efforts of the season; the cool temps, low 60’s, weren’t exactly condusive to fast times but wish that effort would have produced a better result; also, found a 2012 Cervelo P2, brand new,

another dud evening…warmed up well and was riding well until I was stopped by some contruction on the road….nothing like having to come to a complete stop in a time trial while traffic came through our side of the road and then taking off again….oh well, still rode a 23:09…had to have lost 30-40 seconds….and,

Pretty decent ride tonight at 22:17, 27.6 mph. Power on first half at 356 and second half at 352, cadence at 93 and 91 respectively. Next week I’ll try to not go so hard in the first couple of miles and just go for that 360 average start to finish. Was a little over 400
Took it easy today with a two hour ride around Indian Hill, 236 avg watts, 279 normalized. Rode several hills including Kugler Mill, Cunningham, Muchmore, etc. Heading out of town to ride in the mountains of TN/NC so took it easy today. And, hoping to take some more time off the 22:12 at Cleves that
