Brewery Solo 100

From Strava Premium

Yeah my fitness (FTP) is down from a respiratory illness back in late December and through January, but it is on an upward trend. Anyway on my long rides I typically hit a little bit in each training intensity level along the course. In this ride I fought headwinds for most of the 50 miles going north and that drove up time in the upper levels. I try to keep the bulk of my time at Level 2, but I don't just ride easy all the time on these longer routes.
