First full long day ride in a long time. Rode out to meet Lynn 28 miles into the wind... next 26 miles with Lynn in and out of wind, we had a very good pace going riding between 20-24 mph, it was my fastest pace this year! I wasn't sure I had it in my legs but with Lynn's help I did... He was extra strong todayI know he wanted to ride hard and fast,that we did. (My average speed for 54.2 miles was 21.8 mph) I was a little concern how I was going to do on my 30 miles back home. It was tough, I couldn't hold the pace we did and I did try for a while... I was very happy to know I still have some speed in my legs. My power meter battery died on me with about 3 or so miles to go on the ride with Lynn. so I got approximately 83 hours on the P2 PowerTap/Sram pedal batteries. I thought it would be closer to 100 hours. They die out when the batteries get below 1.5 vts. I was having issues with them in the coldest part of winter when they only lasted between about 60+/- hrs which I was doing in 3-4 weeks. So the techs at Sram told me to keep a battery log until they died which I did. this year my riding had cut down immensely, as I recovered from my year long goals of last year.
