2x20s

You gotta enjoy doing 2x20s. I haven't done them in a while. And, to do them on the bike trail in the middle of the night with crazy deers, vampire bunny wabbits, and ghostly goblins, is pure enjoyment. The route was the north side of lake natoma, from mile 26 to mile 23.5 (near nimbus dam) and back to mile 27 (negro bar), which is about 20 minutes and 6 miles. It's not quite a straight route. It has plenty of rollers, blind corners, strange grade changes, and fast descents and non-pedaling zones. The first interval data: 224 watts (average), 168 bpm (average). The second interval (not shown): 212 watts (average), 170 bpm (average). I had a hard time reading my computer due to the lack of light, except the reflection of eyes from weird creatures of the night. So, I rode blind (no visual on the power meter) on the second interval. The great thing about riding at night is the lack of people on the trail.
