Eagle, ID — Wouldn’t you know it? The day after I do a six-hour ride the weather gets better! Aaah, that’s life. Actually, it worked out well as today I was able to hit the gym in the morning, eat a good breakfast and then by the time the roads dried up from last nights rains, it was 46° and sunny!

I went out on my time trial bike today. I’m trying to get used to the TT position, plus, I have the PowerCranks on it. I did a couple pushes and they felt good (and the power was good too!). With the sun out it felt much warmer than yesterday. This was good because my neck doesn’t like to be in weird positions when it’s cold. Things just tense up. I ended up riding for 2hrs and 10mins, breaking this season’s earlier record of 1:50 on the PowerCranks. My hip flexors were burning out by the last 20 minutes, but still a good ride, especially on the TT bike.
