The temperature was a brisk 11 degrees leaving the house this morning. Nothing like cranking the 39x15 uphill at 6 am and getting some nice deep breaths of the frosty air to get things going. My gear is dialed such that everything except face and hands stayed warm going in.
Today's fixed gear epiphany was realizing how much drag inefficient pedaling can create.
On the way out of bike storage, I talked with some of the regional support guys - the fixed gear bike seems to generate stoke, whereas the litespeed with the power tap doesn't seem to warrant a second glance. Must be the bright orange paint.
800 South was brutal - today I wondered if cranking that hard up a hill can induce stoke. How is it I don't put out that kind of power in the gym - is it a mental limitation?
