Training is coming along well, We averaged 20.8 mph and finished in 2:37:37. This ride is only 5 miles shorter than the race in Mesa and it more than 500' elevation.
Our pace line was tighter than every. Guys are really taking advantage of drafting. Guys are providing steady rear wheels that others can depend on.
My numbers were high and Garmin gave me a new FTP. Up from 188 to 205. We really worked hard.
We agreed to do the same course next week because most guys wanted to keep the intensity up at least for another week.
Terry had energy for a sprint in the last mile and I just watched him pull away from me. Bill dropped off after the Kolb/Craycroft loop and said he was gassed. He sent us a text which was very thoughtful. Fred had back spasms again and dropped off on La Canada.
The wind helped us today. It was warm and feels like winter is near an end.
We now have $10 in the kitty for our next coffee hour. The wait staff at the Views was good today.
