Metric #2 Some more TI8 training
So Got a 75 miler in yesterday, No wind, No snow, and 40 degrees by the end of the day. Great January weather! I'm feeling a lot stronger after a couple weeks of training and I'm finally getting on my trainer :( but I get a really good workout on it so I guess it's worth it.

Metric #5
Cirrem IV
So Over all 4th Single Speed 45 overall and 4:58 Made my goal of under 5!
The morning started out with glazed ice everywere. I watched in horror as I saw several riders eat dirt ahead of me. I had a couple close one slid the back tire all over the place, however I'm pretty good at recovering rear tire slides ( I havent fallen this winter) I also recovered a front tire washout on a downhill. I slowed down a little after that. After the first 20 miles It got better traction wise and a lot faster. Then it got muddy and hilly. I only had 5 minutes of pause time over all and made 4 stops (potty breaks) It was alot of fun...or thats how I choose to remember it.
