Fun ride last night. It's funny how much smoother, yet less aggro, because it was FASTER. How fast you ask? Well, fast enough to have a nice working lead group. I don't get into averages, simply because they mean exactly dick. Let's just say it was faster than a bread basket...
All I know is that the stretch between Gator and the Airport was one of the quickest trips we've ever taken through there. 40-60kmh the whole way. Yes, 60kmh into South Congaree. That's 37-ish mph in Old Money.
It was one of those rides where I felt better as it progressed too. I think I needed the effort to work the stiffness out of my legs that building Junior Management's pirate ship caused. Bending, stretching, and stooping while framing out the deck just ripped up my hips and hamstrings.
Strangely, they feel fine today...
Giro News :
Wiggins and Hesjedal both dropped out this morning. Who knew that training to the edge of exhaustion, and starving oneself to the point of looking like a victim of an European War Crime was bad for your health? They both have "chest infections".
And Cavendish notched his 100th career win yesterday. Good on him, even though he probably should have been relegated for deviating. Nothing like looking under your arm, then swinging dead right...
And the Tour of California is going on. It's brutally boring. Yesterday, there was some excitement b/c of the crosswinds, and Jens won the stage with a late attack, after driving the break for 50km.
And it's because he's MFing Jens Voigt!!!
See video in yesterday's post for possibly the best line EVER from Jens...
Pretty pictures...
And one (or two) for the road. I suddenly want a Vespa...
Wx should be beautiful this weekend. Go outside and play!!!
