If you are interested bonzai cyclewerx has a drop and a no drop ride Saturday at 0730. The no drop route is typically 20-30 miles and the drop usually takes on a couple different forms of 30-50 with a varying pace between 17 and 20 mph

Routes are listed on their website

Let me know if you are interested in doing this, I will probably join them since it starts early enough for me to get a good ride in and get home early.

Greg - don't mean to hijack your plan, just another option if you guys are interested...I'll let the shop know if there will be any bent riders in attendance.

Reply #93 - May 16^th, 2015, 3:33pm This is the only way I can compete with you speedsters is do a ride with a 26mph tailwind and have my wife come and get me. Did 55 miles from Abilene to Haskell and averaged a little under 24mph, I think. http://www.mapmyride.com/workout/987774265

Nice day today......winds not too strong. Nice workout.....maybe not a PR for this, but a good effort and 25 miles of sustained moderate effort with high cadence and speed over 20mph.

Funny how this cadence thing works. I've always had this mental trigger--ooooh, I'm pedaling too slowly--I would look down and see I had dropped down into the 70's. Today I'd get the same feeling and I'd look down to see I was at 85RPM. I'm just trying to be like Greg......except for the torn up ass!!!!

With 30.5 miles yesterday, it is a personal record of over 2,000 miles of training and 66,000 feet of climbing for the year. Actually, it is the 1st year I have really trained. It does make a big difference. My best year of just riding, since I started riding almost 4 years ago, before June 1st was around 700 miles. I don't like riding on a trainer, so I spent some very miserable days riding in January, February, and March. A little snow, ice, a lot of cold and wind. Now that I know I can do it, my new goal for next year is 2,500 miles by June 1st.

Rode 23 miles out into the wind to a little town called Tuscola, ate a few bananas and drank a big G2, and then headed back. I averaged 16.5mph going out into the wind and uphill. Going back..... http://www.mapmyride.com/workout/1068297357 18 miles at 23.7mph. Felt fast.

Mitchell to Sioux Falls, South Dakota
partly cloudy, SSE wind @ 5-10, start 82, end 82
https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/830246924

Today's ride was similar to yesterday's ride - flat to rolling farmland, partly cloudy skies, pleasant temperature. 74 miles done today with about 1700 ft of climbing. It was easy today. Wind was SSE again today but much lighter than yesterday's. Tomorrow we have a day off the bike so a chance to enjoy exploring Sioux Falls.

Reply #101 - Jul 12^th, 2015, 10:03pm Winds around 15 mph from the south today.....did my little criterion course at the park. http://www.mapmyride.com/workout/1069951307 Had two really slow miles to begin with and gradually upped the average to exactly 20mph at 20 miles. Woohoo!!!!!

Got several PRs week before last in Chicago. All set in the Northbrook velodrome which is smooth concrete covered by epoxy. Smoothest surface you will ever ride on outside of perhaps a wood velodrome. You can really tell I am not the type of rider who has power off the line. I was speeding up in the 1 hour race - my last lap was my fastest, unlike every racer on the velodrome. I think had the race gone a while longer, I would have jumped several places.
200M flying start - 15.348 seconds 28.98mph
1KM 29.603 seconds - 24.96MPH
1 hour TT - 23.937MPH
40K - 1:01:38 - 24.2mph

Here's the link to everybody's results, if you want to see the crazy speeds some of these guys can do - especially the streamliners.

Okay.....this has to be in the PR category for me. After doing one of aikigreg's type of interval workouts a few days ago (7 x .6mi all out with .9mi rest interval in between) that got me as sore as I could be, I was finally able to ride at a decent pace today.....

Did 40 miles at 20.2 miles per hour on a little @1mile loop in my neighborhood. I'm really trying to keep my RPM's up. Hope it all helps at HHH.
