Double Ride Thursday

Snuck out in the afternoon while it was dry. Fun 19 miler on the tt bike. I made a few minor adjustments from last week's ride. The bike felt even better. Crazy I'm riding a new old stock 2011 aluminum Speed Concept. I miss my 2019 black GEN 2 Speed Concept. Still bummed that frame cracked sliding in my truck when a person pulled out in front of me which sent the frame crashing forward in my truck bed. Oh well, I won 2 state TT's as well as many TT's on my old Silver Bullet. I'm happy where I'm at. The power numbers look good. Now to suffer on some longer efforts. Looking at Mad Cow TT # 1 Monday. That will show how the position & fitness are progressing. 

Ride # 2 on my new Trek Emonda ALR. 11 speed Ultegra. I loved my Madone SL6, but the 58 cm was a bit small. Nice 10 miler until dark. Beautiful bike. Couldn't pass up this price for a frame that fits. Bikes are so expensive now. Found this frame on sale at Trek for $550. Normally $2500. Madone's are just out of my price range now. Glad I have 3 New Old Stock Madone's to ride though. Moooohahaha 

Venga!

Indoor TT Tuesday

A mix of Rouvy & Zwift today. 30 minute session in the morning. Afternoon warm up followed by 3.2 mile Zwift TT. 150 ft. of climbing. It's March. Staying on a trainer isn't fun. The engine needs work tho. I felt pretty good. Very steady effort. 4th place at 339 avg watts.  6 weeks until the first Blue Streak TT.  Looking forward to outside MCR TT's.

Rouvy Monday

Another busy day. 1" of snow in the morning wow! I hopped on Rouvy. I love the 9.64 mile Turkmenistan dirt / gravel route. 225 avg watts. I rode it again at 255 avg watts. 1,108 ft. of climbing. Looks like quite a few days indoors, but that's okay. Zwift TT this week. More climbing planned too. Mooooo!

Busy day Saturday.  I hit Rouvy for 30 minutes in the am then a fun Fat Bike afternoon ride. I put in some good intervals. Power numbers looked good. 61 degrees. Yeah! Chilly Sunday. Howard & I kicked off March with a fun fatty hill ride. I miss the opening days of March. We reminisced about the old Ramble days. Some great memories. I do miss it. Great ride today!

Fat Bike Wednesday

 

52 degrees with 30 mph winds. If the wind was South I would have taken out my tt bike for a few KOM defenses. haha In a few months we are doing some very hilly gravel races. Hill rides started tonight. Fun 21 mile fatty hill ride. We hit all the  with a hills & gravel sections around Englewood dam. 1,300 ft. of climbing. Seated climbing tonight.
