I did a different morning route this morning. I didn't stop and do burpees or jumping squats every 3 miles. I didn't do a 20 min Kettlebell workout after the ride. It's just a new route. But Wow! I think this one will help me get ready for 3 State. I ended up at almost 22 miles with 1700 feet of climbing and grades topping 18%. Ooooff! My average speed dropped considerably from yesterday.
The software I linked to below guesstimated that I averaged 275 watts. That has got to be off. Everything else I have done tells me I can't generate that kind of power for an hour and a half.
When I looked out my window at 5:15am the roads were dry. It was 36 degrees and it was my last chance to ride this month as temps in the mornings are going to drop into the mid to low 20's for the rest of the week.
A light rain, more of a drizzle really, started to fall after just a few miles. It wasn't bad though, I didn't get soaked. No skunks, coyote's or chickens today, just a bunch of dogs. It was a good solid ride...
Might even become my new routine.
