You need to pay more attention to the 41 spelling tradition.

36 miles today, felt amazingly good on the bike all things considered. The Mt. Doom mailbox to mailbox segment in 9:35. My record on that climb was like 10 years ago @ 6:25 or so, I'd be happy to crack 8 minutes. My pal Joe did it in 5:25, he was like 39 or 40 when he set that mark, I was closer to 50 years old. Joe was an elite high school runner (sub 4:10 mile, probably the best cross country runner in the history of Orange County high school athletics) who got a full ride to some big Division 1 university, so I suppose finishing one minute down on that segment to a guy like that doesn't suck, plus I was 10 years older.

That segment is one mile long, 380 vertical feet of gain, average gradient is 7% or so, three steeper sections are 18% for stretches of 20-100 meters.

I know that by mixing English and metric systems above is throwing quite the curveball to the 41 Fred Intelligentsia, but I figure you'll all enjoy the challenge of sorting that all out.

You need a better t-shirt tailor. There is an old saying dating back to when nearly all men wore suits every day. "You don't need to lose weight. You just need a good tailor."

A nice well-tailored suit can be more comfortable than jeans and a t-shirt.

We had wind today, but I was a bit sheltered up on Flagstaff. Intervals suck, but they're more doable on a nice little climb.

I've had that happen to me, too. Had one over the Manhattan Bridge, evidently.

The suit isn't the problem. The tie and buttoned collar are.

Totally enjoyed my ride this am, it was around 28 miles with 4000 ft of climbing. Coach said to give him 3-4 hard efforts, 15-20 min each. Haha I compromised and gave him 4 hard efforts, 10-12 min each. ;)

I even got a QOM. Sweet.

Btw I had a crit today. Really nice course, half of it cobbled. Got dropped in the first lap (half the field did to be fair.) Spent the whole race with a teammate and some other guy basically doing TTT practice. It was really fun. Didn't shift a single time the whole race.
