I had a pop at the saw tooth ride tonight. It was as nasty as expected! 1 hour 27 mins. No idea if that is a decent time for me or not
Power was down a bit on ride 5 but probably not surprising given all the downs that I coasted down
Lots of chances to test the 60kph downs into a 10% up and how to stop BKool from planting the anchors on .... truth be told, it's a bug that I couldn't work out how to get around. I rolled into the inclines, I powered into them, I kept a steady pace ... all have the same effect. Speed drops to 1kph, then back up to 15 ish, then down to 6-7, then up to 10 then back to whatever speed I'm peddling at for the gradient (usually about 7-8 kph). The speed changes happen very quickly and almost not noticeable; what is a pain is the sudden stiffness on the pedals that jerks the legs.I found the less painful was going into the incline at a steady cadence then dropping down through the gears whilst trying to keep the cadence steady.
Be interesting to see how everyone else gets on Thursday
