Aurora & Arachne

Often when the Outdoor Cycling Season ends due to weather we get 10 days of great balmy days spread across 3 weeks. Today was one such day but I failed to get outside to enjoy it on a Fixie.

6.7 miles in 20 minutes with 2 strong peaks and good plateaus

I’m getting better at pushing right past the 55-60 RPM range into the 65-70s and maintaining it here for a minute.

I still sometimes reach-out for her saddle when manipulating her into position

Nothing exotic on weary legs but I’m turning much better & gaining much more control. Some good 2nd gear sprinting in the 12s — I’m pretty sure 15 mph is a 2nd gear top speed cruising but she may sprint in second close to 20, making 3rd & 4th very scary fir me right now.
