IBC B-Group Norm

Steve was working, so A-Group was self-lead. Norm was a little under the weather, so he lead the B-Group, which I rode. We didn’t do duck-slime. Sharon was a little under the weather, so she lead the C-Group. I’m a little under the weather. I think maybe we caught something at HHH, or the sleep disturbances Friday night + the long ride Saturday + the dust from cleaning the cabin might have just hit all of us a bit.

Anyway, this was a good ride. Really happy. I’d have liked to not ride the brakes on the downhills, and maybe not sprint at 21mph on the uphills (eyes Abdul and Xavier suspiciously). Even so, the pacing was good overall, and most of us rotated through the front slot, with only a couple of the stronger riders (A-Groupers) pulling more than a few miles.

It was just a teensy bit overcast, and the sun is dropping lower on the horizon, so it didn’t FEEL super hot.

Norm is a good ride lead, setting an example pace, then stepping out of the way except when there’s something to address (too fast, mechanical, whatever). A++ would ride again, though I missed some of my regular ride partners who stayed loyal to Sharon and rode with C-Group.

Rained Out

Most people bailed before the ride,
due to impending weather.

The rest of us started the ride backwards.
The rain was blasting past my glasses,
and lightning started to happen within 5 miles.

We aborted, rode back, packed in,
and a few of us went to Fuzzy’s in Grapevine.

2014-02-19 Windy PM Ride

Puttering around with Sharon, Norm, Felipe, Mark, and Glenn.
It was more of a social ride, but I couldn’t hear for the wind.
When we picked up the pace, biggest spread was 1/4 mile.

Distance: 21.84 mi
Calories: 1,133 C (adjusted down from 1187)

Time: 1:29:51
Moving Time: 1:28:43

Was hoping for over 15mph, but this is probably better.
I have 130km to ride this Saturday. MOAR REST!
Avg Speed: 14.6 mph
Avg Moving Speed: 14.8 mph
Max Speed: 33.1 mph

Round trip loop, so I averaged these for power calcs.

Elevation Loss: 354 ft
Min Elevation: 711 ft
Max Elevation: 824 ft

Adjusted down from sensor error.

I need to fix the hard-coded wind in my calculator.
Figured out Strava’s calculation issue:
They assume zero wind.

Max cadence adjusted down from sensor error.
