Had a great tandem ride with Hunter this afternoon. We tried to wait out the rain but after lunch we gave up and rode in the rain. Hunter did great, very little complaining. We stopped and had a couple Soy green tea latte's at the MI Starbucks. Hunter on the East Channel bridge. Mid ride warm up break!
Had a lot to do at the office this morning so I was up and out of bed by 5:00am. That's just crazy for a work day! Anyway the weather was great so I was able to get a quick ride in on the Tarmac. Funny note, about halfway into the ride the left brifter came so lose it nearly fell off! My multi-tool was not the right tool for the job but it worked in a pinch.
Despite the short ride my average power was 268W, seems good? It's fun setting a baseline for future measurements. I must say the climb up SE 26th almost seemed reasonable today.
Did my first rides with the new powertap this weekend. The data from Saturday's ride didn't update to garmin's website properly but came out ok in training center.
My legs didn't have much after yesterday's 5hr team ride. Average power was 225W I don't have a baseline but it doesn't seem bad for how shot my legs were.
Saturday's club ride was a bit slow for the first couple hours but picked up A LOT when we started doing hills! This was my first time up saddleback and Zoo hills. Average power was only 210W but most of this came late in the ride.
I installed my 11-28 cassette off my RS10 wheel, swapped tires, and then tossed it on my Tarmac. I then fired up the Garmin Edge 500, put the Tarmac on the trainer and POW! Doing a 5-6 hour ride tomorrow so I should have some great Power/HR/Cadence data to share.
Had a great 8 mile ride with Anessa and Hunter today. Hunter and I were rocking the tandem and Anessa was on her new CX bike. This was my first real exercise since spraining my ankle last Saturday night running a race at Bridle Trails.
Spent last night putting my new (new to me) disk on the Felt. This was the first time I had ever changed a Cassette, nothing to it! Can't wait to get out and time trial on this bad boy!
