Rain and Pizza for a Hundred, please
A very rainy Sunday morning. Two workouts planned, a speed session at 1000 and a LSD NODM course preview 3 hr jaunt at 1:00. Might get wet out there today, but at least it isn't 30 below with gale-force Northwinds. We'll make it and get to the pizza and beer reward upon completion.
Here are two more Seattle Urban Time Trial data bites from our friends at Map My Ride, The 3D Flyover and the course map with elevation profile. That 302 feet of gain sure felt like more than that. Speaking of which, tomorrow, between spin sessions, the first of which is "Back to the Country II", we will formally, or at least as formal as we can get 'round here, announce the course details for our second self-supported ride of the season, Bernie's BIGGER Adventure. I will leave you with these dual metrics to entice some interest and awe: 440 and 17,450. This one will challenge even the best of you. Tentative dates are June 20-24. You might want to do some more out of the saddle climbing in preparation.
Maybe we should scrub the runs and do just that, ride indoors. Let's see, we would have to ride the SUTT course 20 times to equal the elevation gain of the BBAII's highest and longest day, Day 4, of 6,125 and 113 miles.
I'll take the rain and pizza today, thanks.
