I'm pretty confident you knew I was joking. I'm equally sure you didn't have to open a book or pull up a chart to quote those numbers. I understand the price that is paid to carry around too much...

AzTall - Lots of great stuff in that one post. Many things come to mind, but I'll try to condense my thoughts.

About the confidence/fearlessness, I'm probably more confident than fearless. We...

General note: some or all of what I write might be characterized as indulgent. That might even be a fair characterization. I don't think I'm the first or only person that writes mainly for him/her...

RacerEx, Hermes - I'll give you a little of my history. When I was in my 20's I rode motorcycles. I had a fairly powerful road bike. In those days I was fearless and stupid. More than once I've...

Lols. You guys are too much. I guess we know how you feel about Cat5. I didn't actually think my first outing would be with a swat team. I was more projecting and thinking a couple of moves...

Coach says cat 5 can be pretty squirrelly. I don't have tons of experience, but I'm a somewhat smart rider, as well as being generally fearless. Point is, I'm more confident in my own physical and...

Out with the coach this morning. 46 miles w no real steep or extended climbing. Plan was to stay on his wheel, which I did and am getting better at, but at about 35 miles he dropped me. I don't...

I should be good and warmed up by the time I hit the hill. I'll ride about 15 miles, which is where I typically start to feel loose, before I get there. The hill is probably longer than I need, so...

I read the sticky. I don't have a trainer/stationary bike. The test coach described was pretty similar, but he said on the bike, outdoors, on flat ground for a similar amount of time. There is a...

My coach would rather have a LTHR figure, but my understanding of the test is that it is logistically kind of difficult to pull off. Doing the MHR test described above seems more doable. I've got a...

Some improvements for me after a brief rest, but just a little more about the HR since I'd brought it up earlier.

Tonight I finished a ~30 mile ride with the "A" group. Total of about 8 of us,...

Hermes, thanks for taking the time to respond. I'll address the points above that I emboldened.

My coach wants me to do a LTHR evaluation, so we have some better numbers to work with. Even so,...

I think I'm in pretty good shape really. But given my history, I expect just about any ongoing cycling enthusiast that is somewhat serious, to be stronger than me.

As I mentioned, I don't at all...

Thx for the info and the update. I wouldn't want to minimize the pain and recovery the riders are dealing with, but it's great news that they will apparently be back on their bikes soon.
