Waggs & me.

a local climb, that I don't subject myself to too often.  

Only once last year on the BSRR.  2.5mile @ 8%

according to the truck on an incline sign.

Not pitchy, not ramped too much.  Just a solid

unrelenting constant pitch.  Tough to step out the 

door, and stick to the plan.  Are the Tour efforts 

far enough past? Really willing to step thru the 

door into that quiet place?  

Apparantly so, huffing and puffing the 40:15.

Staaaaaand for a long time to rev the motor.

Then steady tempo, 9.2mph sitting in at 180bpm.

Stand and wind her up to 10.3 until the body feels

empty, 184bpm.  Tick tock goes the clock, the pitch 

just is.  Stand and recover, stand and recover, 10.3,9.2,

10.5, 9.1, 184, 181,185,180,10.2,8.5, 8.7, 185, 8.9, 186, 186

9.0,9.22, 9.2...188.

13:58.

Turn and spin it home, short n sweet 1:15 ride, step back into

it again, just test the water, begin to open it up for Sunday.  

Looks like I'm racing, so here's to hoping UPS does their job 

and I'm building a fresh bike at this time tomorrow, or

the Jabber will be set up to coast.....
