The Week and More





Well, I broke the 100 mile mark for last week and got a good ride in yesterday to start this week (that's how Polar does the week's mileage). Plus I put a new ZIPP Contour Carbon bar on my Titus; I went from a 44cm to a 42cm and like the bar and the size a lot so far. I see how it works out as I put more miles on the Titus with it on.
So Gary & I go to get in 30+ yesterday changing the route by going down and on the return trip up Snowville road. For you that have done that "little climb", it's mucho fun, eh?
Anyway, other than Snowville, the route was the same so I wanted to compare yesterday with the ride we did on the same route on the 10th.
The stats for the two:
6/10 - 6/24
time 1:53:47 - 1:42:32
miles 32 - 32.5
HR 131/177 - 132/169
speed 16.9/43.8 - 19.0/47.4
CAD 94/131 - 95/135
Watts 243 avg - 241 avg
ascent 1401' - 1480'

There was no "Riverview S Turn" climb along with the metro park climb, but the total climbing is almost the same....so does this mean I have made no progress? From Snowville road into B-ville is pretty much all downhill so that may be why the avg speed is up.....we will see how I feel at the Westlake "Worlds" tomorrow....

Thanks for Reading,
Rick
