Well, it's spring. Though we have the warm breeze and sunshine thing going, we're still not exactly basking in evening sunshine. I mean, it's pretty dark at 8 p.m., still.
With that in mind, I had but a few goals for last night's ride - the first Bike Masters Wednesday night ride of the season. Since it was going to be short - 90 minutes, max - it needed to be really hard.
Mission accomplished. My heart rate was pegged pretty much the entire time and the Big Puma was a willing sparring partner (note: he's still fast). Took a few digs, climbed a few hills, led out a sprint ... all is well. Pretty fun, too.
For the most part, I felt pretty solid. My back got a bit sore during the heavy crosswind bits. Headwind, I'm good. Crosswind ... man. It seems like I have to work twice as hard with a crosswind, and the margin for error is pretty slight. Too far from the other side of the paceline and I get tossed around, which means more work, more stress, etc.
Just another thing to work on, really.
