Visit to TI, test ride (not on data) and back by ripnriding at Garmin Connect - Details
Met up with Fil to get a little rip in. Plan was to attack some of the local segments but this plan deviated...not sure when...perhaps it was when we were passed by rather quick kid on a tri-bike who was pre-riding the long course for the wknd Tri. Now we all know we couldn't let this happen...even if it meant keeping 90 percent plus avg heart rate just to hang on his wheel..at the turnaround..and after staring at the meticulously clean Kestrel bike of his for the 20 plus k that I was drafting..we realized this was the same superstar that we bumped into last year. He was out on a 160 k, "an easy ride", as he told us...'cause he was racing a criterium race the next day.
Considering we were already in Gananoque at this point..fig'd we should probably visit TI cycle and gaze as some new potential rides for next year...resulted in a test ride of a full Carbon Scott....felt like I was cheating, is the best way to describe the quick 10 k rip.
It was hot hot HOT...pretty much pacelined the entire way back...data doesn't capture it as I forgot to turn OFF the garmin while in shop..thought it did this automatically?!?!? Weird...also didn't capture my %incline the whole way..hopefully this was just a one shot deal.
Cottage for rest of week....entertaining some good people...feeling the need to sit in front of the TV now, crack a cold one and catch up on some Olympics. Ride tomorrow...where, when and with whom...yet to be confirmed.
