Fixed gear bike has hit a rut. I need new wheels. They will come, they will come. Not for a month or so...
Its done except for the wheels

fixie nearing completion

The final coat of paint has been done and the masking tape taken off. It will sit for a few days before I apply the stickers. I will give it a couple of layers of clearcoat before the assembly takes place.

MTB ride - P12 - powerline
Average speed --km
Max Speed --km
Distance: --km
cadence --
watt --- avg
approx 2:00 hours

Group ride with the big hitters. I ended up with Heartburn the entire ride. I don't know why as I never get heartburn. Felt comfortable generally even if I was at the back. Technically, I am still weak. I give up too quickly. I need to change this.

Sunday June 10

MTB ride - House of Emily
Average speed --km
Max Speed --km
Distance: --km
cadence --

approx 3:00 hours

A nice long ride to get back after a week in the Sunshine of CUBA. Technically terrible, I still felt good.

Fixie is getting closer

2nd layer of primer has been sprayed. Tonight the frame will receive its first of 4 coats of colour. In the mean time, the parts will start to go together and get prepared for assembly. I am hoping it will be running by next week sometime.

Update: Fixie Trixie

I finally will have some paint on my frame and will hopefully get this bike on the road within a couple of weeks. No pics yet but I will get them up shortly. The colour? Light antique blue / grey. Not my first choice but it will be fine.

Road ride - Pink Lake / Fortune loop
Average speed 27km
Max Speed 64km
Distance: 55km
cadence --
watt --- avg
approx 0:00 hours

I started out at a nice leisurely pace, forcing myself to do the climbs at a below 100% effort. Pink lake was 17km/h which was fast for me but I held off a bit. I could have gone a little harder. It was nice to go up that a little relaxed and not maxed out for a change. I did this as I have been having negative thoughts on this climb and wanted to feel more positively about it. I realized why I don't like it - its more of a sprint than a climb. I prefer the longer climb of Fortune as its much longer. I like my rhythm. I again chose to reduce my effort on the Fortune climb. On the way back, I felt really strong and on every hill tried to hold my gears for a little while longer without changing and to my surprise, I was able to it. The last couple of kms to the parking lot I did the usual sprint and felt pretty good. I can't hold my sprint very long so I will try to work on this.

Road ride - Pink Lake
Average speed 24km
Max Speed 65km
Distance: 40km
cadence --
watt --- avg
approx 0:00 hours

I changed it up and benefited completely by it. I started the ride very fast and ended up cramping but I drank water and relaxed which helped me with the Pink climb. I refrained from going into the usual gear for high spinning and let it rip. I managed 18.5 km up the climb! This is huge for me. I was flopping around at 15-16km and for me to up the speed that much brought a tear to my eye. The next set of hills I was able to ride up with ease and with extra power at my disposal. I basically felt terrific. The downside to everything is that I have really bad saddle sores again. I can barely sit down.

I got to figure that out.
