    Night rides...

    Last night was a good example of why I like to ride at night! I didn't have to deal with damn hot mid day sun, traffic was light, there was hardly anyone riding...

    ... and the sky was awesome.

    I met up with the junor at 5pm, and we ripped it out to Waimanalo in about 45mins! Average speed for my entire ride was 22mph and watts were in the high 250's. It's getting darker earlier so it's time for me to start using the Lupine. I'll probably try and pick up a Dinotte for the rear because I've heard that they're blinding! - Exactly what I need to stop my ass from getting run over.

    Faster

    I took Monday off from training, but was back at it on Tuesday evening. The changes that I made to my road bike position are feeling less uncomfortable, and my power is increasing steadily. I did another short 1.5hr ride out to Makapu'u and it went perfect - Average watts in the 240's, and average speed a hair under 22mph. Not too bad for an early October endurance ride.

    Fishing...

    ... for a frayed cable! That's why I ended up riding the last 12 miles of my training ride in the 53 x 11 on Sunday?

    It took me 30mins to fish this out of my Dura-Ace STI - A total pain in the ass!
