81.8kph
81.8kph is 50.8mph is my new speed record down Miguelito Canyon.
In the process of setting the above record I nearly slammed into a doe that decided her best plan of evasive action when faced with The Meat Pie flying down at her was to run directly in front of said flying Meat Pie. Since I know how stupid deer can be I backed off the gravity fueled fun and slowed allowing her to cross in front - at that point her two other deer buddies I didn't see jumped from the brush and decided they needed to run across the road in front of me too.
Deer are stupid like horses, only faster and more tasty.
In addition, today was the first 12C ride of the year and apparently it killed the battery in the SRM crank. Zero offset dropped from 565 to 0 in the first 10min of the ride. Seems that even though the SRM is from good German stock it's adapted to the SoCal weather completely. Now it's off to Colorado for service, and I'm on the hamster wheel if I want power data. Can I leverage this into a Quarq Cinco purchase though...?
Interbike was good. Greg did a good write up of the trip here: Interbike write up
I've actually ridden my bike a bit. At least to the point that I don't want to cry when I go hard for longer than five minutes. It's going to be a loooong winter...maybe I will go play with TjK in the mud on the CX bike.
