Go'n South

Busy week is now over. Bags are packed for South Carolina and bike is dialed. Just have to sit through 8hrs of class today before I'm free for 10 days.

I'm bringing my new CAAD10, which I just had Kurt @Liberty fit me on, on Monday. He is tuned into all the latest fitting technology, and it really helps to make everything super precise. It turns out my legs are 9mm longer than they were last July, and my left leg is still longer by 5mm. Also, a heat activated foot print thing revealed that my feet are a bit different and that I needed a double wedge in my right shoe to balance it out.

I had a chance to get out on this new steed on Tuesday, and it was incredible. It is rock solid stiff, and feels very stable, but in corners it still has that short wheelbase quick steering. I did some sprints on it and hit 50.5km/h going up a mild hill, 3 different reps. Every bit of energy put into the pedals seems to launch me forward. Can't wait to race it.

Had some great rides last week, while I was on break. Tuesday was my best, with 4.5hrs averaging 246watts. I did 6 laps of the Niagara classic, and had a brutal headwind climbing the Eff each time. Took 500watts just to prevent going backwards.

Thursday I rode out to Grimsby and climbed my three favorite roads. Wolverton, Fifty and McNeely. Just once each, and never made myself suffer. Just wanted to get my legs to adapt to the steep grades again. Average wattage came out to be 233.

The rest of the week wasn't to exciting. Time on the trainer, a jog and some hikes brought my training time to 26hrs for the week. Oh ya that's if you count the 3hrs of snowboarding I did at Blue on Friday. Also got in a few games of beer pong at my old house. Fun times.

Off to school
Peace
