As mentioned, I’ve been riding the 5k, 10k and 10 mile tt’s inside, one each the last three weeks. My 10 mile was on the Rouvy Cleves Course at about 314 watts, 23:15. This is really close to my outdoor efforts on that course this past year. Hoping to get that power up to 330 […]

My fall plan has been to ride an indoor time trial each Monday, alternating between 5k, 10k and 10 mile. One or two more times per week I’ll concentrate on steady state efforts with the idea of boosting FTP over the winter. Other days will just be light to moderate endurance.

After some time to rebuild the website here, we’re back up. I should start posting frequently again.

Had a pretty good set of intervals today with 10×1 min on/off at 455w, 353w NP for 20:00.  Would prefer those up above 460w but thats ok. Also did two hours of trail maintenance today.  Did Cleves last week and had a slow time at 23:36 but HR above 168 for 20:00 and 170 for

Arrived in TN on Wednesday, late afternoon, and did 5×1 minute, 2:30 between, and two 3:00 minute circuits in the neighborhood. Set. 2025 best for 60sec at 552w.  Rode the TT today in 6:27, just under 28mph at 365w avg. Thats a state record and one of my fastest ever and that power is probably

Did these ar Ault Park. 470w avg, so kind of average. Have been above 480 in the last year. prepping for the Tennessee 5k on Saturday.

Rode a pretty good 5k and got the silver and rode a mediocre 10k and won the gold. Just shows it depends on who else shows up! Power on the 5k was 350w which, while lower than in the recent past, was still ok. The 10k was down from the goal of 330 substantially.  Still

Tough course! Uphill start with about 6 short climbs that really made this a slow course. Won the 60-64 and got second overall even with a 7:40. 

Rode this the last two Tuesdays. Pretty mundane effort both times with a 23:25 and 23:36. Amazing how much I’ve dropped off in 15 years! Used to be in the 22:30-22:00 range consistently.

Rode a 6:25 (346w and 29.98mph) and a 13:45 (27.05mph and 323w) today at the OSO state championships in Cedarville, OH.  Good for first in the 60-64 and second overall.  Still believe power could be better! HR at 161avg in both with maxes in the lower 170’s.
