AM: 1 hour 45' on the gravel bike. 30 miles @ 17.1 MPH. 192W. HR 126.
Mounted my new Silca tires last night. 50mm and not much room on the non-drive side chainstay, but they worked fine on this test ride. Not sure I will stick with a 50 in the year as it is very close. Tires felt great though. Smooth, fast, grippy in the corners. Mostly endurance with one segent attack that I tried to take back. Tied the KOM, which is better than coming up short I guess.
Excited to race a 10k on campus this Sunday. I should be able to get back under 40' for the first time in many years and see what I can do from there. There will be some hills, so I am going to try to pace the race off power and see if that is worth using for racing.
Might do a 41 mile gravel race in two weeks. I have Grand Rapids half in a few weeks and Iceman in early November. Churchills Half is out for the second week in November, so I am undecided after October 18 about racing places for the rest of fall and next year, but probably time to get a solid plan laid down. Not getting any younger.
