Good first training ride w/ Vistoso team. 10 guys in the pace line. We averaged 19.9 mph overall w 22.8 mph going out to Marana and 17.7 mph avg coming back up toward SCOV for a 19.9 overall average.
-Our pace line stayed together for the most part and did especially well on the climb up Twin Peaks and Dove Mt. where we stayed together and rode at a nice steady pace.
-We have room for improvement as our pace line accordions at the rear end. When a new rider comes to the front he needs to be steady and not change the speed of the line quickly.
-It was a very good first day; we had some wind and still had a great group time.
-At coffee afterwards (Views Cafe) we solved all the problems of the world and we decided to do the exact same course next week because, 1) it's long enough for this stage of our training, 2) it's better than River Road, 3) I don't have to make a new map for a week, and we'll be able to compare it to this week and see if we were just lucky or if we are as talented as we think we are. GREAT TEAM EFFORT!
