What is it, 107 out? And humid. Rode to SoD at Tee Dub's in the heat, and it wasn't so bad. Headwind both ways. 33 mins there, 33 home. Return trip at night was lots cooler, and still with a wind, but. Caught a glimpse of a tail light flashing along the Calloway straightaway, locked onto it and, while telling myself to ride my own ride, simultaneously started pedal mashing to catch it - which I did, just before the Yokuts rise - a couple guys on crossbikes.
Why do I mention this? Even when I feel like I'm putting the screws to myself, I'm still only getting around 16 mph. Either the carbon is eating up my effort, or the bearings have fallen out of the hubs, or I'm not putting out the proper wattage.
Yeah, definitely a mechanical shortcoming. I think so too.
