This past weekend's race confirmed that I really needed to start riding during the week. One weekday ride in 4 weeks does not make for good races on the weekend. The past couple nights I have reacquainted myself with the trainer. An hour long each night. Tuesday was unpleasant and showed just how much I needed to ride. Tonight went much better. I felt stronger, pushed a slightly bigger gear and had a much smoother pedal stroke. It is always good to see progress.
