Weekend Wrap Up

Friday was a perfect rest day. Rainy & cold. Sunshine & 54 Saturday. I put in my first trainer ride of the off season in the morning. Another fun ride at TMBA.3rd time in a week. lol I could have sat on the couch all day. I got in a fun 3 lapper in Farnersville. 64 degrees felt nice compared to yeaterday. Good tempo ride with seated climbing up the Wall each lap. I hit Anthony Rd. gravel segment in reverse. New PR by n7 seconds and 2nd place on the segment. Too many potholes to get the KOM. Maybe try it next Spring after the repair the road. 1,100 ft. of climbing. Love that route. Fun stuff!

Venga!

Wednesday Quickie

I stole a 30 minute ride on the commuter around the plat before the rain poured buckets. I'm still  a bit fatigued from illness, but legs felt great.  Nasty cold. It's been a week, so not much to go.

Blue Streak TT - Fatty Style

 

Final Blue Streak of the year in the books. I'm still not 100% from this head cold, but ya gotta try. Hot & windy. I did a long warm up, but not much energy. First mile was all head wind. I settled in feeling meh, but the legs were good. 321 avg watts to the first gate. Westward to gate # 2 at 21.1 avg. Going North was tailwind. I saved some for the final 2 miles of head wind. Last stretch all out to the line at 325 avg watts. 20.7 mph avg. 6 out of 7 Blue Streak's on the fat bike. Fun stuff. What a workout! I did the first TT in April on the TT bike for 4th place. I'll do that again next year as well. Maybe May too. That's about it tho after all these years. I'm proud of years of top placings & 2 victories. Sean killed it tonight taking 1st. Impressive stuff! Great job Jeff & Speedy Feet as all racers.

Double Monday

A few Summeer days have shown up. Back at it after resting yesterday. My head cold is much better. Ride # 1 at TMBA. I had the trails to myself. The groundhogs have taken over. Only thing to do is yell now & then to scare them off. I got in a hour & 4 minutes. Ride # 2 in Fundalia on my warehouse loop. 30 minutes on the 2005 Madone 5,2 SL. That bike is bad ass. So cool running new old stock 9 speed Ultegra. Yeah!

Fatty Farmersville Saturday

Got in a 3 lap /1,100 ft. of climbing Saturday ride on the MCR race course. My head cold was still meh, but slowly improving. The legs are good though. That loop is great training for gravel racing. The pavement sections are chip n seal on Anthony Rd. Be here a lot for the next 4-5 months prepping for 2027 gravel. Fun stuff!

Fatty Momba Friday

 

Back on the bike after a sick day. Bad head cold. I did an easy ride tonight. I felt better as the ride went on. The bike position felt really good. My tempo laps on Hawk's Lair Ridge were within 1 seconds or two. By the end of the ride I felt so much better. Glad to be at the end of this thing. Never fun. Trails were great though. Fall colors are coming out.

Venga!
