Inaugural Ride

After getting the PowerTap working this weekend (thanks to some help from the local bike shop), I was anxious to get out on a ride, but wasn't able to do it until today. And it was pretty cool. Being the geeky, engineering type, I know I am really going to dig the technical aspects and data related to training with power. I did one of my regular loops from work during lunch with the gang and just took it easy. Averaged about 17 mph and 150 watts for the ride and just knowing this was way cool. I am sure it will be much more useful as I get into more serious training next year, but I can see why people who train with power say that going without it is like training blind. Can't wait for more rides...
