This Sunday I was back at Opt-Performance after taking last weekend off for some epic snowboarding. We again spent the first hour + warming up and doing some intervals. The second have of the class was the Col de Peyresourde. Similar to the Alp d'Huez this is another 8 mile climb from the Tour de France. The Col averages a 6.6% grade, but much of the ride is over 7%. What made this weeks climb so tough was that we spent much of it pushing a big gear.
I guess I have been underestimating how difficult these classes are, I thought last weeks was tough because I forgot to bring food; but I brought plenty of food this week and still got my ass kicked.
I need to get some base miles in.
Here is the breakdown:
Dst: 46.09
Max: 47.8 mph
Ave: 18.6 mph
Time: 2:37.01
In Zone: 1:02.28
160+: 1:34.33
Max: 189 (97%)
Ave: 161 (83%)

is mt. ventoux next? perhaps the mortirolo, or the climb to the Madonna del Ghisallo?
my new mtb should be 80% built by tonight. as soon as you think we can get some quality miles on trails down there you let me know.
For sure, but I think we are still a few weeks away from being able to ride trails. At this point even if they are clear they will be very soft and muddy.
If you want to come down we can get some road miles in anytime; but it's gonna be dirty as they havn't cleaned up the streets yet.
