Comments on the Smoky Mtn Century
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

Cleves, again
no change, 22:42, for the last month or so. Truly just not super motivated to ride this at this point in the season. Five weeks to go. Maybe one more decent ride? low 22’s? Oh well. Off to the Tennessee this morning for a few days of riding. Looking at 100+ tomorrow and Friday.
20 Minute Field Test
I used SR 52 for this. I started the interval at the light by Coney Island and finished past the Beckjord Power Plant near New Richmond. Average power was 351 or 4.6 watts/kg. Riding my all steel road bike my average speed was 25.6. This is the exact same power I held about four years

Cleves Time Trial
Another week at 22:45. Might be time for a week off that course. Feeling kind of tired of it, no spark in the legs, unable to get that 28mph average back. Probably have close to 20 times trials this season. Not unusual that I’d be a little burned out on it. Also felt the two
Long day on the bike
Rode a little over 113 starting at 6am (Cincinnati to Augusta Ferry into KY to Maysville, back to Aberdeen, Oh, Ripley, Oh and then back to Cincinnati then did another 27 later in the day for 140. Took today off with just some recovery miles in the basement and the afternoon at the pool.
