Today was a very nice ride with perfect weather – 20 degrees and sunny. We headed out to Fountain Hills then towards McDowell Park, which is the site of the NORBA race on Sunday. We checked out the tech area then headed out to Rio Varde and then eventually Cave Creek. There is this really nice coffee place there, frequented many times last year and I’m sure we will go a few more times here this year. It has this really cool “back yard” where they must have concerts. Something you can do when you are in the desert I guess.
Unfortunately Evan was feeling sick for 4 out of 4.5 hrs of our ride today. His high HR relegated him to sitting in the draft for most of the day…until we hit the 4 hr mark.
Liesje, you’re not going to believe it, but I cooked pasta and made the sauce from scratch! My trusty sous chef Tim prepared his staple spinach salad and some nice bread rounded out a pretty sweet meal.
Here is some data from today:

So we are going to preride the course tomorrow so I’ll let you know how it looks.
Do you know how fast you must spin a 44×11 to go 50k’s an hour?
