Wednesday Fight Night with Wild Card
By JB. Filed in Cycling |
50.25 miles at 20.5 mph average. Got blown up at the town sign sprint going into Flatville, but was able to hang on for the ride until the fast group took off about 15 miles outside of Urbana. The group got really spread out then, but if I had to guess, I think I was probably one of the last in the top third, which isn’t too bad considering the fact that I’m still a noob. 
epon took off with the fast group a few miles North of St. Joe. I did some work with a couple of other guys for a few miles, but they were faster than me, too, and they left me behind eventually. No one else caught up. Overall it was a good ride. It was pretty relaxed going out which left a lot in the tank for a spirited return to town.
Rode with the new Vittoria Rubino Pro Slicks and they felt pretty good. Also rode with the new Time Carbon RXE shoes. They solved the foot numbness problem and also allowed more power transfer to the pedal. Every little bit counts.
