Mad Mad March

Not sure how we got to late March from early February when I last posted.  Life?  Job?  Cycling?  Weird Weather?  Volunteering?  

It's all on this list I suppose.   Eating out too much also.  Lets just skip the weight in for this one huh?  I plan to re-weight in on Friday AM and if it's better I'll update then either way... hahaha

 Teasers of Spring and Summer here.  80'ish on Sunday, this morning it was 35'ish riding into work with a high of 50'ish today.  Warming up though.

  • Jan 2026 - 15 Hours in 21 Logged activities covering 170 miles
  • Feb 2026 - 14 Hours in 18 Logged activities covering 154 miles
  • Mar 2026 - 20 Hours in 26 Logged activities covering 206 miles

 Yes thats a bit of it for sure, 6 more hours this month than last and I've got a week to go.  I'm going to go on a limb and predict 32 total activities near 250 miles by end of Tuesday.   Last 2 weeks I've gotten above 60 miles a week which feels awesome.  Riding more has shown real results in my Power.  Power readings are new since I got Fred.   In December - Feb most of my power normalization was 150'ish.  So far in March, I'm hitting at 170.  And my power over time?  I'm consistently pushing forward.   And my Avg power went from 180 in January to about 232 in a 20 minute block.  

 I'm no Lance thats for sure. And I'm glad.

 Major TW projects coming at Wakefield over the next months.   I need to book a day and do a major improvement/cleanup of Phase 4 soon.  Also need a new blade for the Saw...bendy bendy.  sigh.   

 For the first time other than maybe when I last ordered team kits, I've ordered 2 bib shorts.   Oh wow joys of Gmail, last order was in Dec 2015 and before that in spring of 2013!  I think one of the bibs I'm still using dates to the 2013!  oy.
