Our Sorta Fast For Flat Florida, Drama-Free Labor Day Ride
On Memorial Day and Labor Day, we have a traditional ride here in Jacksonville that goes on a loop out through the west side of the county into the sticks and back. All of the fast guys in town come out, we usually have a tandem or two with former Nat'l championship winners aboard, and a good time is had by all.**
I'm happy to report that we had a Labor Day ride that did not involve crashes, yelling, knife fights, or much of any weirdness. It moved along pretty good too: here's the data for the fast section.
Total Elapsed Time 01:27:47
Distance, mi 38.29
Work, kJ 1161
Temperature, °F --
Average Power, Watts 218
Average Cadence 82
Average Speed, mph 26.18
Now it's time for a beer. Or three.
**aside from those who get dropped, crash on bad pavement out near the Equestrian Center, or get into altercations mentioned above.

"I got my pocket knife and went to town," Salmons was quoted as telling to police.

That summary data was from my Powertap, which doesn't record temps. I think it was (only) 90ish here today. With near 100% humidity, of course..
