Rode the 5k today in 6:27 or 28.9 mph for another silver medal. Missed first by four seconds. Its a short ride but had HR near max the entire time. have to say it really hurt. Not sure I’d have the other four seconds in me. I do really like these short all out events. […]

Took the silver in the 10k time trial with a 13:36 or 28.23 mph avg. First was about 15 seconds faster. Thats pretty big so I don’t feel like I could have beat that anyway. Had an avg of 28.4 at the turn and lost almost a mile per hour. had to get the power

Todays was the state tt championship held on our home course in Cleves, Ohio. The first rider went off at 8am and I was off at 8:16. The temps were in the 60’s and he humidity was high so not a super fast day for me. I rode a 33:26 or about 27.2 mph, good

Rode 2:15 today, about 44 miles, with 40 minutes at 286 watts, HR around 135-140, for some tempo. Not as strong as last Thursday when I was at 300 for 46 minutes but I didn’t have 460 miles in my legs like I do now. Last year on this trip I rode 479 miles. Should

Rode my third century since last Thursday here in Michigan for a total of 416 miles in about 5 days. Todays route started with the Leelanau Trail from Traverse to Suttons Bay then to Northport, Glen Arbor, Mapleton, Cedar and back. Not as heavy on the hills but actually held a better average power at

After the Friday 100 I did about 50 on Saturday before hitting the National Cherry Festival Parade and then the beach for the rest of the afternoon. Sunday was another 103 mile ride with a reverse course from Friday. I used route 616 to get to the dunes, rode Pierce Stocking Road again, then on

Headed out of Traverse City this morning at 8:30 and took M22 to Northport, about 28 miles away. From there it was south through Leeland (11 miles) and then into Glen Arbor (maybe 18 miles), the most beautiful place in America according to Good Morning America, to the Sleeping Bear Dunes where I took the
