Courses -

1> Computrainer 10 mile TimeTrial

2> AlpdHuez

3> 50 mile 5pct

4> Escape from Alcatraz

5> 40KTTflat

 We will start on Tuesday Dec 15th and Finish Tuesday Dec 22.  This gives everyone 8 days to finish the courses in order.  When you complete the course, post or PM me your info (name, Time, Watts (Watts/kg).  Only those who race all sections are able to win the overall. 

Good Luck to everyone and thank you for your participation in our FIRST Tour de CT

I am really pumped about this.  I just finally got my borrowed CT set up and working.  Chris, are we to do the courses in that order but it doesn't matter when we take the couple of rest days?  Just looking wondering.  Oh, and as I mentioned at lunch on Friday, but after looking at the elevation, AlpDHuez looks like a brutal time.

I would hope everyone could do these in order.  As for days off, There are 5 courses and 8 days listed - space as you need to.  We have lives and jobs - otherwise we would do a 10 course or greater Tour with a specific schedule. 

Good Luck Everyone - we start on Tuesday

Scott Goehner

Computrainer 10 Mile TT

Time: 26:55:98

Avg Speed: 22.3

Max Speed: 26.2

Avg Watts: 244

Max Watts: 480

If I take my Avg Watts divided by weight I come out with 3.586 Watts/Kg.

That Hurt

Scott Goehner

Computrainer 10 Mile TT

Time: 33:08

Avg Speed: 18.1

Avg Watts: 164

Max Watts: 349

Watts/kg:  1.95

I did not take the same approach as Scott, this did not hurt as much as it probably should have (I'm looking more long term, the hills are calling tomorrow, really long ride (for me) on Friday (planned)... but that is the difference between Scott and I.. (and he as been training, I have not..) I figure there is only room to improve from here, right???

Rich, the course I did had hills also.

No you are just that much of a monster

I was a little disappointed and am not sure if I had the resistance wheel too tight or if my legs were a little shot this AM.  I might try it again after the Tour just to compare.

Busy Busy day yesterday prevented postings but here are 1 and 2

10 mile TT -

26min 16.7 sec
