The TOC yesterday...
Leiphimer said it was one of the three or four worst days he has ever spent on a bike. Cold, rain and a head wind can really ruin a good day.

That was my ride today. We had scheduled a nice seventy mile rolling ride. So at 4:45 AM, I get a text from riding buddy, "Hey Arch, it's too cold and windy, so I'm doing the trainer ride today." Me: "Ok." I'm too dumb to change plans so I head out. In protected zone, what wind. Out of protected zone, "wow." I'm buffeted by rain and wind and a seventy mile ride became a wimpy 50 miler. I'm still tired after the wind. Wind, wind, go away.

Yeah but trainer workouts are better than road workouts. You'll kick my ass. I'm only averaging 150 a week. Next month need to get it up to 200 though to keep up with you. I passed 2500 miles since the accident but haven't done a single bike interval. You've done nothing but intervals. I'm screwed.

Since August, I have spent 5 minutes on the trainer.
I'm not screwed. I have natural talent. |

As far as my ride yesterday, it consisted of my first bonified spin class at the local club. It was a 45 minutes class and it kicked my butt. My legs are still wiped out. |
