Winter returned after Sunday. Wow! I climbed the Cipressa & Poggio on Rouvy Tuesday. 185 miles with 1,447 ft. of climbing. Wednesday I did some unbound gravel on Rouvy with 1,400 ft. of climbing. Last day of Winter today. Sunshine & 70 degrees. Nice. fun 35 miler doing Big Tim Tuesday loop backwards. The Emonda ALR is getting dialed in. 95% with just a few more minor tweaks. Good stuff!

Double Monday / Mad Cow TT # 1

What a day! Ride # 1. Big Tim, Buz, & T.Bolt joined me for a fatty hill ride from Union. 24 miles with 1,300 ft. of climbing. 2 hours in the legs then do a time trial. haha The Beast, Buz, & I got it done. MCR TT # 1 7.67 miles. Sunshine & 73 degrees. SW wind 15+ mph. First 4 miles were tailwind. Today was a big test. New front end aero bars, base bar, drive chain, & helmet. I started fast. The bike felt great. My helmet was a newer model. It was too tight on the warm up, so I loosened it. Well, it started sliding down. Arggg. I pushed it up every 10 -15 seconds. 30.8 mph avg for the first 4 miles. I held back just a bit since the rest of the tt would turn epic. Left onto Loy Rd. The crosswind was howling. I stayed in the bars hammering West. Great test of the new cockpit. I passed Buz cheering him on. I had to slow with 2 oncoming cars turning on to Lost Creek - Shelby. .8 to the finish line. Wow. As the guys said....demoralizing. haha It was tough. I gave it all I had to the line finishing 2nd with 27.3 mph avg. Oh yeah! Great way to kick off TT season. Sean crushed it at 28.8 avg. Buz did well on the fatty at 17 mph avg. The other guys were missed. Next time!
