Chugging along

Training is continuing to progress smoothly. Got some good riding in over the weekend. Put in a few hours over at Dryer Rd. with Casey, Jer and Dave. Always have a blast at that place and we found a few trails we hadn't even been riding before. All the night riding we had been doing we were just zooming right past them. Speaking of the night riding, what a change it was to ride during the day on the trails. It was truly different and I was amazed at how much faster you actually ride when you can see more than a circle of light 12 ft in front of you.

Sunday we headed down to the Hollow for a "flat" training ride on the dirt roads. It was a gorgeous 55 degrees or so and I was jacked to ride and put in some good time in the saddle. Naturally our flat ,easy ride turned into a few good climbs and seeing who could drop whom. I put my heart rate up a few times on the climbs but never let it get too high and backed it off when it was time.

Here is a nice chart of our "flat" ride with 4000ft or so of climbing


Notice the 4 major climbs, yah had no idea those were coming up, but not one to complain it was fun.

Gotta take some time off here wed-thurs as I'm helping to move the company office from NH to NY so tonight looks like a trainer night and hopefully I can put in a few hours tomorrow am before I have to head out.
