| Comments: Club ride with Jimmy & Bryan. Easy pace for most of ride. Discovered front wheel not turning freely. Corrected some, but not completely. No wonder the ride from Callville was tough!. Left quad was sore at first, but did better later. |
| Weather Conditions: Warm with light winds, yet changing directions. We had a 10+ mph tailwind on LV Blvd. |

Comments: Club ride to Lake Las Vegas. First ride after extending boom. Leg reach is much better. I have more leverage. Sprint a while then wait for others. First time to climb Lake Las Vegas hill in middle ring.
Minor crash. Right glute is sore. Bike seems OK. |
| Weather Conditions: Calm until almost home. Temp in upper 80's. |

| Comments: Did 50 miles at 19.5 mph, then biked around town for six miles which bought my average down. Gal ahead of me thought my bright light was a car and called "Car Back!". |
| Weather Conditions: Looked like rain to start, but we out ran it and stayed dry. Started with about 10 mph crosswind, but that went to nothing later. |

Comments: Started at 5:23. I think I had another "Car Back" due to my bright headlight. Drive train was making growling clicking sound. Found out later that the bearings were shot in rear wheel. Had to buy new wheel, since they had no Zipp parts. Speed was down probably due to the bearings.
Missed another turn to add milage. |
| Weather Conditions: ? don't remember |

| Comments: 5:24 start. Still another comment about my bright light. Cooler temps keep my HR down for same effort. New wheel is quiet both pedaling and coasting. Speed is up, so it looks like the bearings slowed me. Oh, I go my chest strap back! |

| Comments: Started at 5:06. Last day of ride, so people want to get done and avoid the mad frenzie of the end town. Held 20 mph average until Fort Madison. Geting to dipping area and riding through town brought average down. |
| Weather Conditions: COLD morning! Needed leg warmers! After riding for an hour I saw temperature sign that said 54°. Tail wind made this a fast pace. Also had challenge from other rider. |
