Road to CDA 06: Bike 104
Sun 2/19
Summary: Bike 104 (6:25), 16.3 mph ave
Bike with group (Ann, Hannes, John P, Dan W, Erin/Ron P) from pearl 24 hr fitness, out 30 to Vernonia, then to Timber, back via 6 to 26 to North Plain. Then took West Union to Laidlaw, and up West Thompson. Down to Cornell, Lovejoy, back to gym. 104 total. No elevation ascent (altimeter broken). Solid ride the whole way. Tire split in Scapoose and John P gave me his front tire to replace as his ride was over due to a critical breakdown. Lost 30' riding but after that, no flats or other problems. Stopped 5' in Vernonia to refill water, then all the way back. Pushed hard on all significant hills, maintain over 10mph, even all the way up Thompson at end of ride. Felt strong all the way to the end even though legs drained/fatigued. Nearly perfect weather, chilly to start, but warmed up into mid 40's by a few hours.
Zone Summary:
Zone 1 = 81% (5:12)
Zone 2 = 8.6% (33')
Zone 3 = 2.7% (10')
Zone 4 = 4% (15')
Zone 5a= 2.3% (9')
Zone5b= 0.3% (1')
Zone5c= 1% (4')
Zone 0 = 0.6% (2')
* Solid ride. Very proud to see entire group pull the 15 mile stretch on West Union against wind at end of ride. Then when everyone is silent and starting to bonk, everyone pushed up West Thompson. Everyone's strength is slowly and steadily increasing, which is a good sign.
This periodization phase to get ready for the builds in march and april are on schedule.
