Two Tabatas

Tried to do Tabatas today with renewed focus on achieving 210% of my VO2Max power, currently estimated at 375 watts. So that’s 788 watts for

Mount Harrison Hill Climb

With 4,500 feet of climbing in 16 miles, Mt Harrison Hill Climb is tougher than Bogus. Not only that, but the steepest parts come in

Easing Back into It

Riding by Feel
