Did a 40 mile Tour de Cure training ride training. Pretty uneventful with a decent but relaxed pace for the first 35 miles or so but the group fragmented with a few miles to go and I jumped to the front with the intention of just getting it over with but I walked into a testosterone fest with 10 or so people. I really thought I was gonna crack several times but I guess adrenaline is a beautiful thing.... we were doing 23-28 for around 4-6 miles (I don't remember as everything was a blur), rotating short pulls around 1/4 long and we eventually thinned it down to 5 riders. I was running around 170-185 bpm during that period - I've never held that high a HR for that long. I probably only had 1-2 more miles of that pace in me but I gotta admit, it was a lot of fun

Listening now. Sharing mixlr app on iPad -> Apple TV stuttered/rebuffered every 10 seconds, but mirroring the mixlr web page from a MacBook worked. Technology eh?

Yeah, it affects resistance but so does the tire wear and the psi of the tire. Basically you try to keep as much constant as possible and it'll be good enough for self-comparison. Tour of Sufferlandria Stage 1: Complete I vastly prefer the 2x 8 minute test over a 20 minute test; that was a very long 20 minutes. On a more positive note...I've gone up 3 watts in three weeks!

It's been a VNV Nation kind of day for me. I forgot how many instrumentals these guys did. Love 'em!
