38.70 02:34:00 15.08 144 Road: Rolling Bacchetta Quattro #3 (Q3)
Road
MBBC (Manly Bulge Bicycle Club)
Comments: FINALLY 1st ride on Q3. Wanted to ride north towards Buckeye but the forecasted exponentially increasing wind would be stupid so decided to ride SE on the slow and bumpy Poudre River Trail instead. So increasing direct headwind out. Obviously MotherFckinNature was pissed with my plan so she changed the wind 75 degrees so I had exponentially increasing cross headwind on the return leg!! Fucking impossible to make any speed at all with short radius turns into ever-increasing headwind in both directions. Was as mentally taxing as it was physically!!!

Comments: CZ 26 Day 1: Formerly Saturday ride. Rode out almost say route as Day #2 therefore I was horribly confused and got lost 1st traffic circle. A fast couple past me on a turn as I was stopped to navigate. Took 8-10 miles but finally caught them. A couple from Houma , the gf/wife was a racer and VERY strong. She was pulling at 22-26mph with the tailwind and new pavement into Cecilia. They left the LA 31 brewery rest stop before I did. Rode solo rest of the ride in, and felt pretty shitty by the end into the headwind and uber-shitty pavement in spots. The 17.8mph avg at the brewery came down to 16.7 mph avg by the end. Felt completely hammered by the end. Awesome 2.5 hr nap after though.. ;-) 400' jumbo vertical, ATemp:76F, Cad:76

Comments: CZ 26, Day 2, Henderson Levee Rd and Red's Levee Bar. FINALLY beginning to get some legs or FINALLY a ride without significantly more headwind than tailwind? Or both? 1st decent ride in a while, also 1st ride in a while that didn't feel like a death march. 400' jumbo vertical, ATemp: 71F, Cad: 76. Knees were not great but were manageable... spun as much as I could

Comments: VERY HUMID morning from Hempstead McD. Relatively light wind but swirling, headwind heading south to strat, cross headwind heading north at end. Saw many more riders today, saw a Cruzbike heading out of Monaville as I was heading to store. Half-decent ride overall, but jersey was soaking wet by end. 450' jumbo humid vertical, ATemp:75F, Cad:76

Road
MBBC (Manly Bulge Bicycle Club)
Comments: Now typical FoCO ride with 2-3X more headwind than tailwind. Think I did have some tailwind heading up canyon, DEFINITELY has violently gusty cross headwind on return. Had an upperbody/core workout just trying to keep bike on the pavement on the return. Was a beuatiful, clear, low humidiity morning. 1000' vertical, Cad:75, ATemp:78F. Still mentally draining with all the fucking climbing followed by all the fucking headwind. Total grind of a ride with very little easy sections. Brutal trail pavement for last 4 miles
