The weather man knew what he was talking about today. After watching two bike races from Spain and France this morning I switched to basketball. The University of Cincinnati versus UConn in Hartford, CT with UC winning number 14 in a row. I stayed inside and rode the Cycleops Fluid trainer after those events. It is my birthday but I am not willing to go for a ride and brave the chill and rain.

Yesterday I did intervals on the trainer and today it was what I call endurance. After warming up I tried to maintain the same cadence/speed for 7 miles without stopping though I did make a quick stop while I was warming up to turn the fan on. This amount to pedaling until my legs felt so heavy the weight turned the pedals. Nothing fancy just keep the pedals turning. The gearing didn’t change once I warmed up: 36 x 15.

Sunday the overcast sky is supposed to leave and the temperature go up to 69 degrees. If this happens I will ride on the road.
