I suppose I figured I’d Warm-into the temperature over time but even at the end of 32 miles I — especially my hands — was very cold. Rookie Mistake. I enjoyed fighting the wind tho.

I took the Sevier to Shelby path for the first time in months; the amount of glass has been reduced but there still to great a chance of puncture. Too bad; it’s a very challenging Loop. I took 6th street for my second time due to yet another construction detour.

Not many of us out there but I got to do some catch-up sprints

But I rode inside anyway. I managed 11.2 miles over 30 minutes with half my plateaus visible & half invisible.

I have 85 more of these to go this year & I guess that too had something to do with Indoor Riding on a pretty good Outdoor Ride Weather Day.

The construction detours all over Germantown forced me off my regular 2 Golf-Course Route & up onto 4th & 5th straight into lunchtime traffic. The truckers were all kind & patient tho. The old Greenway tho has been taken-over by newly displaced Tent Cities so the debris —especially broken glass — was a real issue. No puncture tho.

I had every intention of taking-out the heavy bike today but I had Family Problems to (fail to) solve so I rode Aurora for 8.15 miles across 25 minutes. I worked on one-minute plateaus & then half-minute plateaus.

Our ice has melted but I’m not yet steeled enough for 30° cycling

I was aiming at 30 minutes but my legs said 20

I went with mostly one-minute plateaus but toward the end my legs said Hey.

I’m enjoying the mimicry of outdoor cycling

I went with mid-range sprints just for the change of pace. Makes a nice pattern.

10 miles total across 30 minutes & 30 seconds

I took out the heavy bike because I knew there would be some wind out there. Perhaps unfortunately many Nashvilleans chose today to take a fine walk in the park; the path was thick with kids both escorted & unescorted. I dodged them all.

I didn’t wear the Spider-Man jersey but I honored the colors

I concentrated only on Upward Pedaling today instead of downward pushing or push-pulling to make circles. I’ve noticed that on my Fixies I can skip readily into circular sprint-mode but not for as long as I’d like. I’ll work on the Up part for a bit inside & see how it goes.

Very distinct plateaus
