Way to go Monkeywrangler22! Smiley

I did a personal best today myself. I held 26 mph for almost 1.2 miles. I had 42 pounds in the tail box. Yes, I weighed everything! I also topped out at 50 mph down a hill that I could only get up to 46 mph before. Just as I hit 50 mph the wind moved 90% and hit me broadsided. Pushed me over the center line. Here is a link to both videos if anyone is interested.

The first one is 26 mph.

The 2nd one is 50 mph.

I am going to try for 60 mph down a 20% grade this week end! Smiley

Thanks Greg,

I am faster than I was last year. I just am whining about my surgery next week and the time I will have to be on the trainer instead of riding the roads.

Jrob, wow! I've been at 41-42 mph on the Seavo as stoker, and I think that was my fastest. The Encore could beat that I think at Muenster, but I don't have the legs for distance yet I think.

It definitely could. I've had the carbent over 50 there. Anytime you want to test out speed without going all the way to Muenster come over here. I've got a nice long hill where you can hit 40 without much effort.

The trainer sucks, but don't fret too much. I basically had 2 solid months on the trainer without much outdoor time. It's not the most fun, but get a fan and point it in your face, and nab some spin videos. You won't lose anything. Might even gain if you don't slack Wink

I had my left foot reconstructed in 2007. Couldn't out my foot on the ground for 6 weeks. Yes, it will suck! Also, GCN has free videos on YouTube fort training that I used once or twice.

I feel for you. I have had rotator cuff surgery twice. It is not fun! My 85 year old mother just had a complete shoulder replacement about 5 months ago. She is doing great. I hope you a speedy recovery. If you get too bored, just imagine everyone you know(and don't know) riding around naked! Smiley

I just hope it turns out well for you and you are back riding real soon. The shoulder is the most complicated joint in the body and I found this out every time I rolled over in my sleep! I finally got smart enough to sleep on the sofa with my back to the back rest and a big wedge of hard foam in front of me to keep me from rolling. Good luck!

Several PRS between yesterday and today. Last night was a swimming night. Normally I swim about 1000 meters to warm up, and do drills. Sometimes it's more. Then I do one work set of 300 to 500 meters are a cruise pace. Last night I had a great swim even though I spent most of this week off the bike due to an arthritis flare up.

Today I did steady state intervals. They are pretty taxing but I felt decent at the end of the ride so I decided to go for the sprint. I ended up with 4 PRs. Plus, my 60 second and 2 minute power went up quite a bit. Every one of my speed measures went up. But the best was my 1 mile sprint increased to 31.3. I moved from 37th place to 13th all time, and 1st for 2015 out of 860 riders. updated stats are below. There;s q good rivalry going on now between the vk2 and the m5.
