June 28

Great ride today! A 3-hour E2/endurance ride was on the schedule today, and I decided to get it started shortly after waking up. I usually eat a good breakfast and wait a couple hours before riding, but tried it a bit different, with only eating a banana and Power Bar, then getting ready and heading out. I did make sure I had some gels and other good stuff like that on my ride, as I knew the calories would come in handy. I stepped out, and the weather was great for a ride, with cloud cover, little breeze, and temps around 70-75. I did my usual 20-25 minute warm-up to get to the roads where I could actually ride with some rhythm, then started my "real" ride. I was basically shooting to keep my wattage around 180 on flats and declines, pushing over 200 on small inclines, and attacking the hills pretty hard. I headed out Darnestown Road/MD-28 and went all the way out to Dickerson, MD. Overall, a really good ride.

Total time: 2:55
Total distance: 52.2
Normalized power: 202
