You may notice that there is no average speed or total time.  Well the computer sat on the shelve running all day yesterday.  So todays ride though wonderful with some good flat speeds of up to 18 mph  and up the whole butte hill from the hard side I am missing the time and mph data. Oh before the STP I trust I will have the thing under controle.  Have a woderful sweating day.

Time approximate as the forerunner was not on all the way. No natural light. Added new strobe light white and read lights made me very viable

Hard to get going but I had made the commitment to the other people that I was going to bicycle there. The ride back was wonderful sun, no bad traffic and invegerating.

I made it up chambers creek road but had to push up a couple others.  In the 30-40 so a little nippie but had a good layered system and was able to cut the inselation once I got warmed up.  Playing with the Garmin 201.  I am not getting elevations or assent so I went into the custom set up screens and added % grade and assent.  I am not sure how this is saved in the history. Total assent and grade I think or perhaps the max grade and total assent?  If anyone knows let me know as I need to follow how I am improving on the hills.  The STP is not known for its hills but there are a couple and I know that is a weakness for me.

Last time I did the stp and trained for it I did not get up butte hill, near my house,  utile late in my training.  It was a perfect day in Lakewood south of Seattle wa.  Sun shine on me the whole way and in the 40ies.  I made it up the killer hill and several lesser gints in my area.  Wonderful ride and I feel wonderful.  How can it get better for a Grandpa.  New boy from my addopted son last night.  Had to have a C section but all went well. Now he learns what all that fun was about and what long nights are like :> ) .
