Ride Description:

A nice fall day like this and there were quite a few people on the Comet to navigate around plus a couple of extended stops waiting for the light to change, but not a bad day.

My legs were a little fatigued from the 60 mile ride yesterday, but the Felt B10 set up and the new Flo 60's feel really sweet. For some reason my Garmin wasn't picking up the satellites very well and the speed showing on the display was often too low, but fortunately it is reflecting correctly in Garmin Connect.

The first interval felt really good and I just about held 20 mph for 60 minutes with not too much intensity, which kind of makes me think this bike is pretty efficient compared to the road bike.

The second interval I did not push as hard and it I had more foot traffic to slow down and navigate around them safely. Very good day out though and I am pretty happy with the bike.
