ITT

After the 1000 mile month in July, I took 2 days off from riding and then on Friday 3 August I did a time trial to see if I could better my best average speed for a 20 mile plus ride. I stayed down in the drops the whole time and tried to concentrate on keeping my shoulders low and using a low cadence. I managed to do the ride in just slightly over one hour and upped my best average speed from 21.8 to 22.3, which seems like a significant increase, meaning I can do better still. I got up to 35.6 mph in a dead sprint while merging into the left turn for Vine Street. Then on the little rise up from the creek near the Church I also sprinted and just about blacked out.
