just a ride with pickups.
Well today I had a short little time to workout out. I was waiting for the guys to come install the blinds and shutters at my house. They were supposed to show up by 9am. Well one guy showed up only about 20min late but the other guy showed up about 1hr+ late. I asked if I had to wait for him or if he needed me home he said no so I went for a quick ride. Told him I would be back in about an hour he said perfect.
Well this was my first ride from the house. It is nice! I can now finally ride from my house without too much fear as there are bike lanes.
Hit the river trail and since it was going to be a short ride did some more unstructured intervals. headed to Beach and PCH and turned around. When I turned around I hit it again caught a light and then noticed a guy pulled up behind me a bit later. I recognized him, think his name is Alberto not sure. He used to ride for Cyclewerks and is now on some other team. He is supposed to be really fast and probably going to ride in Europe next year. So he runs the light and as soon as it turns green I hop on it. catch him and then get on the trail. once on the trail I hit it and I know he is on my wheel. So I am going hard for about 2 miles or so until the bridge and then he passes me on the bridge, I am really breathing hard. He passes me and makes sure he is not breathing hard at all. Cross the bridge get on the trail again and I hit it again. Only this time Harder, I pass him and he grabs my wheel. (I actually wanted him to go around me and pull so that I could go even faster). I mean I am now going full gas doing about 28mph and peaking at just under 30mph. The HR is creeping up but I am holding it. So as I get close to my exit I tell him I that I am turning. At this point I had slowed down to about 26mph. He comes around me and stomps on it and takes off, not even breathing hard! That guy is fast!
Funny thing is that My Hr is really drifting right now, but the higher HR and the Higher Watts don't seem as uncomfortable as they used to. A few more weeks of this and I think I will give Como St. a shot sometime in January. And maybe try to hit that Velo 605 ride as well.
