Today my time 35.39 minutes at avg 15.2 MPH and avg HR 138 with the same 6 MPH North wind. Also, that previous best was on my 700x32 street tires vs the new 700x40 "gravel" tires...


And WOW!!! on the pants! That's amazing! I too started at 48's! Right now i'm down to a 40. Not sure i can ever get to a 34. I think i'll be very happy in 38s... maybe 36s by end of the next summer...
Yea when it is cold I'm not sure if there ARE any "easy days" hehe :-), gotta keep the furnace stoked :-).
