Ford Road - 20xL3, 5x2 Cadence Drill, 15m HC

Back to the grind... Ford Road, 20m L3... then coming back 5x2m high cadence (>105RPM) drill... Finally, as the sun set and it cooled down a bit, a fast (well not that fast) climb up Westwood...

The weekend was busy, no time to blog...

Sunday I spent about 4 hours following the Cat 1/2 Mens peloton around the Tour de White Rock RR course.. I take absolutely NO responsibility for the mistakes made in counting their laps... Jen and I tried, yes, really tried to tell the comissars that we had only done 100km (10 laps) and therefore they shouldn't be going onto the short course... but no one listens to the service vehicle people...

Saturday I did a one hour TT practice on the Neaves Rd. practice course. Averaged 42.1 kmh, but that was with seven turn arounds at about twenty seconds each... Taking out six of the turn arounds would give me an average speed of about 43.5kmh. Average power was low, about 260 watts... I have not done enough efforts like this this year.

Hopefully I can still do well in the BC TT champs in early Aug. Goal is to get under 52 minutes. Or perhaps 53 minutes, the race organiziers may extend the course by about .8km this year (a cattle guard has been removed allowing the course to be extended 400m...) I have had two bad years at BC TT, flat two years ago, and starting in a deluge last year... Both years I did a pre-ride faster than the actual race... As a bonus the new organizers may also seperate out age classes, so I could even hope to take the 55-59 prize...

Tomorrow night hopefully back to the track.... pursuit practice and some tempo riding to keep the legs used to track cycling... maybe I can convince Mike R. to do some motor pacing.

Thursday its out to Richmond with Ryan to do the crit... hopefully no crashes this week.

This weekend is WarpSpeed TT.... Unfortunately I'll be unable to ride in it as I'm the Race Director...
