Both my babies are working again! Had to do a little rehab on the Kona to get it working right again, but I have my winter bike back!

Climbed over a thousand feet in three miles today. I hit 48mph coming down the back side as part of a 3.2-mile sprint during which I never dropped below the speed limit and my heart redlined at 204 BPM.

Went out and did it for the hell of it on my Cannondale.
101.25 miles. WTHN GAP Century. 6:32:10.
Burned 7600 calories and bonked around mile 60, but I soldiered through and caught a second wind about mile 90. I need to take more food along next time…
I can’t walk, but it was completely worth it.
Today’s hill climb ride. That middle climb was a cast-iron bitch. Max grade 7%, 400 feet elevation gain over 1.7 miles. My goal for the end of May is to climb the whole thing without touching granny gear.
One of my babies. Cannondale CAAD7 R2000, Slice carbon fork, DuraAce drivetrain, Full Speed Ahead carbon bars, Ultegra flight deck, Mavic Ksyrium SL wheels.
Taken midway through a 122-mile ride on the Great Allegheny Passage outside Confluence, PA.
