Started the day with my 6am spin then lifted for 30 minutes. Late in the day I went to Ault park for the 30/30’s. It was cool, upper 40’s, but sunny. Rather than doing the 3 sets of 10 I did a set of 15, a set of 10 and a set of 5. The […]

I love riding time trials and I love long rides. You’d think combining them would be pretty easy. I know I thought that, and I was wrong. There were ten 3 man teams at Crankenstein. The first two laps started with a mass start. The first rider to complete the 22+ miles was back in
