Comments: 1st Quattro #1 ride in FoCO, felt TERRIBLE! Highest ever average heart, flet awful on the smallest grades. Actually a bit worried about cardio issues. How could I get this far out of shape so quickly? I know I gained weight in Dec, but this is rediculous! 800' vertical, ATemp: 61F, Cad:77

Comments: 1st vomitron ride after lengthy road trip. Fought the vomitron, bike, clothes, shoes... was gassed just from getting on/off bike 8+ times. Then the vomitron was WAY off on power/speed... 150 bpm for 12 mph??!!! Quit after 30 minutes. Why bother if everything is completely fucked up?

Comments: Tried the vomitron again, still had shoe issues but got it resolved with a 2nd pair. The power was still off but much better than previous attempt. Only rode 30 mins as I'm planning road rides the next 2 days in a row.

MBBC (Manly Bulge Bicycle Club)
Comments: 1st ride on Q2 on the Virgin River Trail in St. George, UT. Walked thru fields from hotel to trail (didn't know of a MUCH easier road). IMpossible to make any time on the trail as many tight turns and short, steep climbs, up to 12%! Rode a spur that was 300' vertical rangeing from 2-12%, was slow, but I felt ok on the slow climb. Cad:72, ATemp:59F, Vert:1,000'

Comments: Drove into ABQ for an easy quick ride on PdB before checking in and going out. Took it easy but was a bit hilly (going up river) with a mild wind. No biggie. Still snow/ice on ground in parking lot shaded by highway overpass. 300' vertical, Cad:75, ATemp:57F

Comments: WELL:.. Started ride at northern end of PdB with a little upset stomach, but no TP at bathrooms. Decided to ride anyway. Next restroom I saw was at 9 miles near downtown ABQ, Tingley Beach. I absolutely couldn't wait any longer at that point. Luckily I took my wallet, keys, cell phone, cyclometer in with me. I was only in there 90-120 seconds. But it was gone when I came back out...GRRRRR ABQ police were worthless! Had to take an Uber back to car. The bike was actually fairly well dialed in with less handlebar interference than Q1, but was noisier. Cad:77, ATemp:56F.

Comments: FINALLY got a full ride in...GRRRRR!!! Felt half-decent on the Carbent. Tried to keep all the climbing at/above 10mph. Beautiful day! No tailwing, small headwind (5-10mph) on way in. Nothing compared to the next day's headwind. 800' vertical, ATemp:63F, Sky high heart rate, actually slowed down a little when climbing.

MBBC (Manly Bulge Bicycle Club)
Comments: 2nd of back-to-back rides, this ride on Q1. SUBSTANTIALLY more headwind than tailwind made comarison to the Carbent impossible, however the ist 15 miles (3 laps) were consistently slower (uphill) then the Carbent. But I was cockblocked 3 times in the 1st 5 miles. Weather forecast was correct for once. 0-5mph tailwaind, steadily increasing headwind 10-20mph+. The bike felt slightly softer on the shitty sections. 800' vertical, ATemp:64F

Comments: FINALLY beginning to feel semi-human on the bike. 1st ride with 32mm tire on the Q1, definitely helped soften the shitty pavement in spots. Added 10 miles to30 mile loop going towards Buckeye. 20.6 miles up the canyon, Cat 3 climb according to ridewithgps. Little wind definitely helped! Vert:1,000', Cad:76, ATemp:62F. Avg'd 14.4 mph to top of ride at Buckeye.

Comments: 2nd Buckeye 40 miler in a 2 days. When I left I felt pretty tired, but felt a bit better as ride went. Had a tailwind up the canyon, was tired by the top, then violently gusty headwind all the way back. Not as bad as my bday ride on RAGBRAI but struggled to keep bike on the shoulder on ride in.
