FTP test this morning. Not a PR. but much better than last time, mainly because, this time, I engaged my brain before clicking the lap button. Had a big blowout warming up, from a rough little hole in the sidewall left by a past flat. Thankfully it held during the rest of the ride, as the area where I do my testing is rather remote (mostly on an Indian reservation), and I only carry one tube/CO2.

Had to drag race a pitbull during my warm down. Owner was of an age where I didn't trust that the dog hadn't been taught aggression, so when the dog started the chase I "dialed it up to 400", and went from cruising at ~21 to ~29 before the dog gave up. I didn't sense any evil intent, and, at those speeds, it's all the dog can do to try and maintain the pace. It couldn't even bark until giving up. But it was pretty quick (briefly) for a Pit. If he were given to chasing bikes (and he isn't) my dog would make someone hit 38-40.
