My watts\/k was about half of what everyone else was producing. My legs are not accustomed to constant pedaling for an hour and 20 minutes apparently and hitting 150 watts. My gearing choice generated 14 to 16 mph. The course was the Richmond 2015 UCI World which my wife and I attended. Compared to the climbing in yesterday&#8217;s ride this one was fairly flat.
