Mad Cow Ramble TT # 3

Sunshine & mid 60's yesterday. 7.3 mile TT. Mostly uphill with tailwind. 2 crosswind sections. Great turnout.Yeah! Busy day. I was late with only a short warm up. I sent everyone off then hit it. The legs were dead. Still 28.5 avg in first half mile. Right on to Green. Crosswind with 2 short hills. I was not feeling it, but kept on going. I was held up by a car turning North on to Alcony which scrubbed my speed. I slowly got going dialeing up the speed. My saddle was low. Argggg. Normally around 30-31 mph on those sections, but could only manage 28-29 mph. Still a good effort. I raised my saddle back to where it usually is for the cool down. 26.5 avg. Bonus TT was 2.3 miles. Straight up SR 589 from the school. Right on Loy Rd. finishing at the top of the hill at Lost Creek Rd. I raced the fatty. I was warmed up for this one. haha I felt great.  21.5 mph avg. 327 avg watts. YEAH! Great job everyone!

Brookville Monday

 A bit warmer today with Sunshine & temps around 59 degrees. Wind was W NW at 16 mph. I rolled from Brookville taking the rec trail NE. I worked my way over to Lewisburg via old Big Tim Tuesday roads on Swamp Creek and Verona Roads. More headwind West on Swishers Mill followed by the Mini Rollers of Prices Creek. Loved those BTT rides back in the day with Big Tim, Andy, DeeWayne, Smoothy, & more. Fun tailwind on Pyrmont Rd. East. The road has triple chip n seal. It used to be so fast back in the day. I had a good speed going though. I reached the end of Pyrmont then it was KOM interval time. 2 segments. .75 of a mile & .85 of a mile on # 2. Rough road surface on Utz. 27.7 avg with a little uphill at the end. Segment # 2 on School House Rd, was a KOM defense. I was banking on more of a West wind, but it switched North. I still had a tail wind, but could feel cross wind at times. The segment rolled up from the start then stair steps up a few times to the end. That effort hurt right after Utz Rd. hehe 27 avg setting new KOM. Very pleased with those efforts in the temps. Fun 31.5 miler completing a good 5 day block. The Emonda ALR is getting broken in nicely. Rest day tomorrow then Mad Cow TT # 3 Wednesday. Mooooo!
