Wednesday Lunch Ride
Met up with a few fellas for a quickie ride - from town out to Rancho Viejo for three loops of fun, rolling, power work. What was weird was riding mid-day! It felt hotter than hell, and hurt in different ways. Chris noted that my vampire-like schedule was downright weird - which it is - but what can a guy do? Ride when the there's time to ride.
Great circuit that winds around Rancho Viejo and the IAIA (Institute of American Indian Arts) campus. Rolls up, down, left, right ad would be a great spot for some racing, as Jim noted. All told, I got to sneak in a 1.5 hour ride that left me pretty wiped, but feeling good after a number of 600+ watt 'attacks' up and over some of the gentle climbs. Thankfully, after a few months of solid riding - 320 watts does not feel like all that much anymore, whereas last winter it would hurt quite a bit more over any sustained (5 - 10 minutes, or more) periods.
