June 29, 2023,Time Trial Effort

Put on my brand new socks for this ride, It was an improvement on last time but that's not too difficult considering l had a mechanical on the final climb, this time it was just the wind, traffic and hoping my knee doesn't cause me too much pain I had to deal with

September 8, 2023,Burning Rubber

Not been able to get out or even do a workout on the bike all week so a hard effort was called for but it was too busy and too hot for me beat previous efforts

May 14, 2022,Short Saturday

Not wanting to over do it at the moment so I'm staying closer to home.
