Yesterday, my HED Vantage Eight aerobar arrived... Wow!

Last night I did a short ride out to east O'ahu into a super nasty headwind... Short, but on the rivet the entire time. The wind felt like the strongest I've experienced in Hawaii, and I almost got blown off the road quite a few times.

Only 1hr 21mins in the saddle but I ended up with Pavg of 285w, Pnorm of 295w, and average speed of 21mph.

Hmm, maybe instead of doing 5hr rides I should do a 1.5hr ride like this in the morning, take a nap, then do another ride like it in the afternoon. I guess that's one way to rack up 200+ TSS within 2.75hrs. My power and speed were higher for the first 45mins but I hit about 80% of the traffic lights on the way back, and that doesn't help the watts!

The new team is taking shape and I've managed to line up a couple more sponsors, the latest deal is really exciting... I can't say much more about that until sometime in early January, but trust me, it's awesome! I feel sorry for the few people that turned down riding for the team...
