2nd weekly TT skinning up to the radio towers on Emerald. Had the iPod in, chugging along pushing the pace, "sprinted" at the end and managed to shave a whole 1 minute off TT #1, one minute, really? So PR is now 1:03 Blackmere to the top. Ah, well got to start somewhere. Back in the distant day when I used to be riding towards the front of the pack (on my single "Faster" no less) I had a couple TTs I used to like to gauge fitness against during the year. Poorman to Bald Mtn on the mtb was a favorite before my little cheater connector got gated off, Flagstaff of course (35 min or so if I recall), hot laps at Betasso (old course) in 13 min or so...
Here in the 'Boat I've set initial times mountain biking up Spring Creek (1:05) and skinning Emerald. I think Fish Creek will make a great roadie climb/TT
View from the top looking S up the Yampa Valley. Bottom of Rabbit ears is at 10 o'clock, Stagecoach at 2. Fun road rides thatta way in a couple months time
iPod, schmypod! Thought I was cooking along to Rage Against the Machine and others but only shaved 1 minute off last week. Did do much better down the steep new lines where they pulled out the beetle-kill this summer, confidence of knee pads helps, there's lots of trunks and stumps left in there
