Training objective: another easy weekend tempo ride (cadence between 75-80 rpm's and heart rate at 140-145 bpm's) of whatever duration I want and no pressure to go fast. Bart invited me along to go to Oudewater (and back with his wife who was riding up from Breda), so I didn't fully follow my training programme, but it was a pretty good tempo ride - I worked hard against the wind a few times, but really, it was a pretty easy ride. And absolutely glorious weather. I may go to one of the bike clinics here and do an FTP test in the next couple of weeks. Apparently they often do a 20 minute session on a TACX for just EUR 15 (instead of 60 minutes and the full fitness test for EUR 195), which gives a pretty good approximation. I should probably be well-rested beforehand, so I'll give you a heads-up in advance so we can build it into my schedule, Morne. Experienced guys I cycle with, like Bart, keep saying, "wow, you are strong" or "you have a lot of power". I keep telling them it is because of my training programme with you. Bart said he couldn't even keep on my wheel when we were heading into the wind (where I was doing 37-40 km/hr) today....
