Rainy days and Tuesdays
It is still storming and extremely cold outside here in NorCal, which prevented a worthwhile outside training ride tonight. So, I filled my two 24 oz. Motor Tabs bottles with water, dropped 1.5 Motor Tabs in each one and hit the Minoura rollers for 1 hour 0 minutes and 15 seconds, spinning out 22.56 "miles" with an average speed of about 22.5 mph at 71.7 rpm average cadence. My heart rate averaged 185 bpm/87% of my max of 212bpm8. I burned a calculated 1,500kcal.
It was a much better ride than last night because I had better music this time, listening to the Cadence Revolution podcast. That is my favorite cycling music podcast, you should check it out. There is usually just about an hour of music with the beats per minute of the song selections changing so you get a warm up, ride, and cool down phase if you choose to follow the beat with your cadence.
Also, I just completed my paperwork and got it in the mail to race for SkullCandy Racing this year. Yeah! I've been using their headphones practically since they came out, so that is awesome. I never thought I would be representing them, though. I need to find a cool head badge for my bike with a skull on it now....
Keep the shiny side up!
