Had my best time of the year at 22:12. Held 366 for the first half at 26.3 mph into the strong wind out of the southwest and then about 29.2 mph for the second half with the tailwind at 350 watts. Entire ride was at 358 avg , 27.75 mph avg speed. Blue Streak tomorrow […]

Did about 36 miles late this afternoon including the usual ride to Elkmont and back (1900′) and added in the Roaring Fork Motor Trail. I think its the hardest short climb I’ve ever done. In 40 minutes I covered the six miles from roughly the start of Airport Road to Cherokee Orchard (essentially the same

Rode my best time of the year at 22:24, 27.45 mph or so, 355 watts, 95 cadence. made some changes to my bar length, stem height and angle. Felt pretty good and will continue to use the remaining weeks to fine tune position. Would have been faster tonight but had a tanker truck pull out

used Ault Park from the lowest point on Observatory to the back of the pavilion and then another lap plus, coasted down and repeated: 353, 356, 349, 350, 345, 341, 341 and 342 with just 90 seconds between the first four, then 3 minutes, then 90 seconds between the last four; resting HR this morning

Wouldn’t the Tour de France be more interesting if rather than accumulated time determining the winner they used the results of every stage and awarded points based on your placement in the field? As it stands, it would be like baseball always playing 7 games of the World Series but the winner was based on

Did three 5 minute steady state but pushed them into tt range at 375, 383, 381…felt pretty easy really…registered for both 50-54 and cat 3 for Sunday; may err on the side of doing the longer cat 3 (20 mile) race; the 50-54 has two guys who have both been top 5 at nationals and

I wanted to ride my best time of the year on that course and I did. Pretty hot at 5:30 when I went off (92) and still windy but rode a 22:26, 356 watts, 97 cadence. Was shooting for 22:15 and will get there eventually but ok with tonights results. I held 363 for the
