Judging by the way I feel tonight I must have had a good ride.

Lucky for me I had my SRM bicycle powermeter to tell me it was so. I would never have known it was a good ride without it. It hurt a lot. I spent a lot of time going slow, recovering.

Tonight I really brought the pain. The group I started out with put me on the path to that special lung searing, leg burning place. For the rest of the ride I repeatedly surged power and held it as long as possible. I wanted to push past the edge.

Higher VI was what I wanted to see tonight. All this winter trainer riding has left me with a really decent Functional Threshold Power, but I don't have many matches in the box. Too many times digging deep and this old goat explodes.

Exploding goats. Not a pretty sight.
