7/15 Sub5 Course Ride


------------------- 7/15 RIDE STATS from sub5 course ride ----------

We had 9 riders, and did one lap together, took a long refuel break, and the group fell apart a bit on the second lap. We learned the course, and practiced clockwise and counter-clockwise double rotating pacelines. Here's some data:

Basic stats from Craigs garmin
Lap1
20.2 miles in first hour
Harmony hill 1.09 miles @ 3:40 17.9 mph ~265watts ave
  ** should be less than 250 watts ~4:00 16mph **
Big Timber 2.0 @ 5:30 20.9 mph ~255 watts (wind aided)
 ** should be less than 240watts ~ 7:00 17mph **
 
Lap1 34.1 miles @ 1:40:30 20.3 mph 165watts ave
  ** should be 1:36:00 20.8mph 175watts ave **
 
We did the flat section at 20.2 and the hill section at 20.6. Even with the tailwind, that is bass-ackwards. We need to take it easier up the hills.
 
Lap2 – 20.2 miles in first hour
  At the base of Harmony Hill, the group fell apart due to heat and dehydration. I think everybody ate properly, but the heat made keeping hydrated a problem.
