A Little Test.

Today I had the day off and the weather wasn't great, but I was able to get out for a couple hours anyway later in the day. I did my favorite route to see what kind of shape I'm in for this time of year and was pleasantly surprised. Encouraged even.

The Ride/32 Miles: I'd say I went about 90-95% of my potential and there were a few stoplights along the way, but even so I was only a few minutes behind my best time last summer at the peak of my fitness. To say it felt good to let'er rip is an understatement. Here's hoping for some mild weather so I can continue the progress!

Where in MD do you live/ride? I live in White Marsh and work in Columbia and ride often (not winter). I see you are a Cat 4 Rider (What does that mean exactly). I have been riding for about a year and am trying to do more rides maybe even race if possible.

Are you doing any tempo workouts? I'm a believer in race simulation for running and see no reason to believe it wouldn't work for cycling.
