Cali Rd Cruise Up And ITT Down
After parking at the school headed out and headed out heading up California Rd till it dead ends at Mountain Rd. It was a cruise ride up. Got to see how the swamps where during the drought.With the usual plan to head back faster aka negative split to ride.
It was at the turn around I had a thought to maybe for a rare time treat the ride south the Down California Rd segment as a ITT. So let's check what the Strava data says with the result from a year ago. Looking at it close I think should give it a rare go.
Ok so get sorted and let's see how this plays out especially with the long term injury effects having a possibility of mucking it up. Of went.
I won't give a blow by blow as can't recall most of it. Had the music going through the Skull Shox as use it to quieten a messy brain. And since no someone will as what had played. That is easy, this...
Extended version that has no interruptions. Rode the road as best could till California Rd ended at the south end at Ninth Concession Rd. No I didn't go race hard and hope for best. Was being a wee bit wary as didn't want to have it all go wrong. Gave it my best and thought had done ok. It wouldn't be till later when got home would know more.
Wasn't till got home and plugged the GPS device into the computer to download the data and looked closer to see the days result. Well set a new PR and took 10 minutes roughly off the last time.Job well done.
Of course should admit another ride that had me considering the idea of mounting some kind of modded aero bar to it. For those long flatter sections. And to more importantly take the weight off the hands and such even for a wee bit. Something to consider in the future. Though can say the old Onza bars worked well.
