Those are great numbers Hippie! did you managed to get some good miles ahead, in front of the group?

I just returned from a rather intensive 45 miles off road. We didn't push it as hard as last week, but the colder weather is killing me. (last week was about 8-10C hotter) I'm way better in the heat. my heart rate is lower, power output is higher. The cold just isn't my thing. Seems like my body is fighting to reach the right temperature. (i've got small sweetspot, with cold i'm shivering like a Chihuahua, and in the heat i'm like a tropical rainstorm) Still, i'm way stronger in the heat though.

I got a new group set for my cannondale, a nice sram red. I personally favor sram over shimano in terms of shifting precision. I'll get some pics of it online when she's finished.

The season has kind of ended for me; with all the rain coming, i start to run more. It's a tad more intense, but it helped me maintain my condition for riding. The combo works miracles for me. 2 runs a week, in combination with one slow ride for a longer distance.
