This is by far my best day on a bike! I did 35 miles in I hour 44 minutes and 43 seconds for a 20.05 mph average. Granted it was on an almost completely flat trail, but It felt great! Smiley

I had two people timing me and I also have a video of part of the ride. 26 mph was my top speed and 17 was my slowest when I had to pass people walking on the trail. I feel good! Smiley

Went out this morning to start my hill repeats back up and to see what my fitness was doing. For my hill repeats I find convenient local hills that have Strava segments on them that I can use as a measurement. I'd done some hill work last season and HAD KOM's on several of them. However a couple of them had been nabbed by the local racers, so I had a bit of a motivation to get back out there.

Since these were short hills it was all anaerobic, full gas and sheer power. I guess spending the off season with the weights did something for my power. I grabbed two KOM's on my morning ride, Strava link HERE. Was about ready to Smiley

after my second run at Abbey road but fortunately I didn't.

On my commute home I had the wind in my teeth for all but the last leg. Since the wind was gusting 20-25 out of the SE I took advantage of the tailwind and beat my previous KOM by 3 seconds, Strava link HERE. I left a lot of time on the ground so to speak on that KOM as I didn't time the light properly and had to come out of a full stop.

When it quits raining! I hope to ride with aikigreg Saturday. I think anyone who wants to join, probably could. I would like to ride where he usually rides.
I think the rain is suppose to hold off until later Saturday.

Bring Phantom Rider and Cruzbike Chris with you and anyone else who wants to ride. This could be the start of the West Metro ride since it was rained out Sunday. I hope it is okay for me to invite everyone.
