After those 3 disappointing rides this week where my HR and RPE seemed to be way too high for the speed I was going, today I decided to go gentle. I aimed for mostly HR Z1/Z2, and didn't mark and chase down any other riders. Overall fairly slow, but nice and relaxing. I took the Litespeed, which I've managed to make into my most comfortable bike, and now with the R8000 group it really has the most seamless performance of any of my bikes. It's eerily quiet, like the only sound is the tires rolling over the tarmac, and when shifting the loudest sound is the soft *clik* of the STI lever.
