Ride!

I love this bicycle! It is PERFECT for these conditions...

Confirmed what I knew already, that I would like cycling a lot more if I was always and only on empty country roads - set out around 7:45 from the hotel out on the East End loop where we're staying for race weekend, had no dread (just normal amount of pre-exercise heel-dragging) and enjoyed ride in its entirety. Pretty windy - speeds and effort levels quite variable. Rode the loop in mostly Friel zone 2 (figure I can ride in zone 3 tomorrow, will cap HR around 150).

1:10, 18.66mi, avg 16mph (max 22), avg HR 133 (max 153)
