We had a good ride today and I’m feeling like I’ve gotten some of my conditioning back after a sluggish winter. I wondered how that compared to previous years and the answer was interesting.
Some thoughts:
- I wasn’t as fast back in the day as I remember being
- I’m definitely trending slower but not as dramatically as I would have thought
- We’ll see how it looks when I have a full year of 2026 data
- The real test is going to be whether or not we can keep up with the other riders on the trip to Dubrovnik
- It would be a lot of work to tease out the tandem speeds
- I suspect that the Litespeed tandem would have an effect on the average – but likely quite small
- I don’t have any Strava data for 2014 or 2015 when the Litespeed Classic would have impacted the numbers
