Cycling and Stuff

After my disastrous fall rides it was time to start getting serious about slowing the decline.  Foe 3 or 4 weeks I have been doing more and more intensity.  I tried to do a threshold a couple of weeks ago, but just didn't feel right so I did some more training rides.  Yesterday I finally felt fit enough to try again.  It went well.  I managed 260 watt at 131 BPM.  This translates to around 234 watts as a 1 hour threshold value.  This is more than the 220 watts that I did last Feb and only slightly less that the 264 watts that I did after 6 weeks of cyclo90 workouts in April.  So I am starting from a fairly good base and should be able to improve to somewhere around 280 watts by March.
