Comments: Chatfield ride on a 55-60F afternoon with warm sun but cold air, snow still on ground. Didn't feel very strong, climbed VERY slowly to save knees (didn't work) knees made it about 45 miles. Back side of damn, SUCKS!! sustained 7% grade, but 22 mile loop with both sides of climb. Building headwind on sore knees was not fun. 1300' vert

But for once I think I may have had more tailwind than headwind? Cloudy, rainy in one spot, but legs were ok even though they didn't feel great at start. 1,100 vert

Different bike (CA2), different pedals (Look), different wheels (Reynolds AL), different wind (0-8 N), but almost identical speed.

No wind in Littleton, but dead headwind up the Cols Du Sud. 6 cockblocks, and took it VERY easy on trail and thru neighborhood. Garmin registered my 2 walks for pee stops...grrr.

PR for the 1st 15 miles up the Cols Du Sud (19.6mph), but then added back side of dam, 3 more cockblocks, then sharply increasing headwind up Cols Du Sud on 2nd lap. 1st lap on top of dam had pure crosswind, had to lean into the crosswind. I got VERY nervous hitting near 40mph on the steep downhill. I swear I never did feel a tailwind, only cross and headwinds. Wind shifted from SE, then S, then SW, then W. Knees were pretty much fully cooked by end, the headwind just kills them. Most vertical in a while, 1300'.

Sore from mile 35 to bitter end, even worse after I got home. 1,000' vertical. Top of Cols du Sud has RAGING wind (15-20+ from SW) so every foot of climbing was dead into the headwind, but much less in protected valleys. Took it relatively easy after knee began to ache and cockblocked like crazy on the trail back to the car. May not ever ride that again, not sure. Felt like I was riding into the sun for 2.5 hrs, screaming headache between the glaring sun and super shitty pavement at end.

How badly can you fuck it up, really??!! Wind was probably 8-12mph from S on the 1st, 15-25mph from SE on 2nd, 10-15mph from ESE on 3rd. Probably windiest this year, definitely on new carbon wheels. Right knee had dull ache from mile 3, but could be from cold air, headwind and 8 miles of Cols Du Sud from start. Bit right knee ended up ok by end, much better than last road ride. Aug was PR for most miles in a month, ever.

Wind was all over the place... 5-20mph, S-E-N, exploded on 2nd lap from N, instantly blew in wildfire smoke. Right knee was a little sore but not horrible. 1st ride on new less-cheap Chinese carbon wheels. Front wheel hop 1st 34 miles, then re-seated on tubeless rims, rode fine after that. 1,200' vertical

Comments: Fucking ridiculous weather yet again, weather forecast was totally fucked! 1st 6 miles were 10F+ colder than forecast, wind was 5-10S, so uphill into headwind, but I notices it died near the top. Then I turned around and the fucking wind EXPLODED from the north (15-25+), so the 1st 19 miles of the 21 mile loopwere either uphill, into a headwind, or both. Slowest road ride of the year? No way to make up 12+ extra miles of extra headwind, especially when uphill. Lightened up a little towards end (15-20). Sunny but still cool (50-60F). 1,100 vertical...

Comments: Lost heartrate strap somewhere, watch had too low of battery, guessed at avg hr. Shitty ride overall, but I guess a day near 60F in Dec in CO, isn't too bad. The wind was fucking BRUTAL going up the Cols du Sud. Weatherunderground COMPLETELY fucked up the forecast YET AGAIN!! Instead of 7mph, it was closer to 15-25mph!! Had to lean into the crosswind to keep on road. Completely fucking ridiculous!! 1000' vert, including to top of neighborhood into the fucking headwind...
