Well, I guess the honeymoon is over. |

Hey Pcad, If you ride as much as you say you ride, for as many years as you say you've ridden, and you ride the same routes time and again, then why in the world do you need a "Joule" to tell you what you did? A clock and speedometer should give you all the data you need to know. |
It's all about the schwag.

Good on you for showing up, and yes, for getting shelled. That's the only way you can guage where you stand in this sport.
Cycling is so strange that way. Me and my pal Juan do some of the same rides and races. So in Prospect Park last Saturday, I get ejected on lap 5 of the fast 35+ race, he hung on the entire race and finished with the field. I saw him today after the Nyack Ride (which he also attended) and asked him what the average speed was on his clock for the Prospect Race, he said 26.4 mph. Anything over 25 mph on that course is fast, 26+ is ballistic. You have to be doing 30 much of the time to average 26 on that course (there's a half mile long upgrade that slows the pack down to 19-24 mph depending on how hard they hit it. At any rate here's the point: I get shelled, he hangs on in that Prospect race, then today on Nyack, I drop Juan by 250+ meters on the finishing hill (which you hit after 40+ hard miles). So who's fitter? Depends on the day, depends on how you feel, etc. You can feel like crap one day, much better the next. So don't let getting dropped discourage you. You may eventually learn that you're not great at hillier races, or whatever. You may learn how to train and improve at those events. But you won't find out if you don't show up and race them. If you get shelled it does mean you got pushed to your limit. Probably harder than you would ride alone. |

I've pinned a number on. But that was long ago in a galaxy far far away.
I was a competitive long distance runner when I was young. So, I'm used to pointless suffering. |
We saw Toy Story 3 tonight. OUTstanding. Particularly the Ken & Barbie segments.
|
I pinned on a number during century rides. And I rode fast!

Hey pCad, have I said thanks lately? Hope you had a great fathers day.
|
Fred is where it's at. To aspire to be anything different would be a lie.
