22 C, 69.7 km in 1 hr 59:15, regular helmet, spandex shorts and short sleeved jersey, shorts are aero, jersey is a bit floppy
max speed 59 kph, minimum 17 kph briefly up two hills
same out and back symmetrical route as yesterday, a bit shorter ride
hair is long, hair is over ears and I have a bit of a beard
92% effort, but my effort is slightly limited due to the physical work I do during the day
wind calm 5-15 kph headwind outbound and eased off on return to 3-7 kph
570 m elevation gain
got a cramp in my calf and eased off for 2 km at 30-32 kph, went out hard against headwind
1km easy (27-28 kph) for drink
bike is a standard road bike (10 kg) with water bottle and standard wheels and race clinchers
I start and end the ride at a truck stop and cross through a stop sign at a highway intersection.
Swampy: just trying out the TT helmet, rest of clothing was a bit floppy short sleeved jersey and full length spandex pants which are a bit loose in the knee and ankle area. The jersey is 6 years old and has stretched.
TT helmet has vents but it gets hot over longer rides.
