10-Mile Time Trial: More with Less

After watching the guys in the Tour of California suffer through their Time Trials yesterday I decided it was time to do another Lactate Threshold test, which for me is a 10-mile Time Trial. Didn't take long to remember why I never got around to doing one last year: they're bloody hard!

Cherry of a Bulge

It was a Cherry of a Day for a Cherry of a Ride. The only problem is my back tire had different ideas. Thankfully we still had a fantastic outing, albeit on a shorter-than-planned route.
