Smoky Mtn Century

Rode from Gatlinburg, TN to Cherokee, NC, via Newfound Gap, then back to Newfound Gap and on to Clingman’s Dome. From there it was downhill to Sugarlands and out to Elkmont and then back to the chalet for 100 miles and 10,000′ of climbing in 6.5 hours. Beautiful day to ride, but that is a

Cleves Tonight

All of the results are posted on the Queen City Wheels Facebook page. Good group of riders, 33 total, with 14 riding new PR’s. I did a 22:32, 27.4 mph, and held 360 watts. Should be able to get into the low 22’s and maybe even upper 21’s but the end of the summer.

Mega-Hike

this is a post from a facebook friend. He does solo hikes in Great Smoky national Park. Pretty amazing journey a few weeks back especially given how little he carries with him for 6 days and 150+ miles. He also did a solo bike ride across Alaska a couple of years ago. He was gone

Did 6×5 minute steady states on Friday with power in the upper 340’s to low 330’s. Today, given the rain, I rode some inside this morning and then went out to get in 10×1 minute power intervals (444, 468, 490, 493, 493, 511, 506, 496, 513, 513) averaging 493. Then I rode a little more

First Cleves Time Trial

Nice evening but a slow time at 22:55, just under 26.9 mph. Not too motivated after the races over the weekend and riding the early shift with just a few others. Pretty much on my own after mile 3. Used the Stages crank arm and held 355 watts, about as expected. Need to up that

Spring Series Omnium TT

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
