Perfect ride (for the burbs)
I wanted a hard ride today, but it was really dark skies and kinda late so I decided to drive and go to the only place around here that has hills. In 8 miles, there is one small hill, a steep 80 foot climb and then about a mile of steady slow incline, a good descent (with wind in your face), and another half mile of climbing. All in all about 350 feet of climbing per laps. I felt fast from the very start. Did 3 laps, all 23 minutes each, and averaged 21 mph and 170bpm for the three laps. For some reason my garmin wasn't triggering its auto lap function, so I don't know what the breakdown per lap was exactly but whatever. Weather was perfect, I felt strong, couldn't ask for more. Hopefully I'll be able to pull the same performance on Saturday's crit
