Biking Destroyer

It's a total exaggeration, but with my new aerobars I really feel like a biking monster living in the big ring.

Yesterday was the first time I rode with them. I hooked up with the Fenwick chicas for an interval ride along Coastal Hwy.

After warming up we set our minds and legs to ride 3 minutes at 90-95%, take a 45 second break and then repeat. Our goal was eight sets with a 10 minute ride at 60-75% between sets 4 and 5.

After the sets and then riding back home (remember that I commute by bike to the hook-up spot) my legs were burning!

I was at first a little unstable in the aero position, but pretty quickly was able to really power through the speed sets. My max speed was just shy of 25 mph --- 24.8 mph to be precise. I want that 25.

Watch out 25 mph...passing on your left!!!!!
