Today was my first ride with my new power meter. I got a Cyclops PowerTap. It did add about a lb or more to the weight of my bike but I do feel that the winter training will benefit me a lot more now that I can train with a bit more structure and feedback. The only small problem I encountered was that it doesn't work. I couldn't get my heart rate or my power output to display.
Last Tuesday was the penultimate night of racing at the Mid Week Crits. It seemed like a pretty fast night. It started out really windy and I foresaw several pile ups but luckily there were none. I like how Craig the organizer has to remind people not to use their cell phones while warming up or racing. Like how fucking stupid is that ? Who needs to even bring their cell to the race , unless maybe they rode there, but then turn it off. I saw the guy using it a few weeks ago. Dork. Anyways..........
