Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

if i don't hit 202, I wasn't trying very hard. everyone is different. if you're max is 150, 202 will probably kill you.

In 20-40 min TT's, my HR averages 175-176. That's about 94% of max for me.

Hey pCad, I tried to do a max heart rate test on the trainer this winter, but got tired before I got to the blacking out/puking stage. I got to 189 though. So, how much can I add to that? I don't really want to try again, just too much like hard work.

That's because it's a (different) word.

There aren't any words in the English language capable of expressing how I feel about Razor's postings. It is kind of a mix of being extremely dumbfounded and sad at the same time.

May a higher being help us all.

The more I ride the Scott Addict, the more I think it's a comfortable ride. To wit, the guy leading the solo RAAM competition is on an Addict. With aero bars no less.

I'm peeved because I think I could have hung with the Road Nazis a few more miles.

There is a downhill then curve and then a short climb over a bridge. My speed was off and I had to slow at the worst place just before the hill. It killed my momentum and I couldn't accelerate going over the bridge. By the time the road leveled off I was too far out of reach to bridge the gap. And that was that.

Grrrr.
