I have to get to 275lbs to be a very mediocre Strength Athlete but an extremely strong Cyclist 🤣

Where is this?

It's an abandoned road that connects Glenside to the High School in Summit. It's one bridge west of the deer crossing over 78.

Rainy Morning Session. Making progress. 255lbs for reps. Feel like I'm ready to hit my 275 lift and then this program is basically done. I have an in Season Plan that's more flexible so we might not see any real improvement until after Paris-Brest when ITI Training starts.

Just like outside, it's great until it isn't.

Meh...Speed work. I also forgot I have a Stage Race in Virginia this weekend. I was sorta focused on the Brevet Season Opener at Batsto the week after. I have zero expectations except for riding my bike for a couple of days and that's about it...
Here's the stuff I was talking about from the place down the road. I'm going with 2 scoops (50g) per bottle this weekend.

Tour de Pochahontas Stage Race.
Went down to Richmond to race this and have a fun MTB weekend.
Stage 1 was an XXC 30 mile loop. I raced Open because I hate myself. I knew doing 25mph up the fire road into the woods at the start that this would now end well for me. I rode around at what I felt was actually a good XC Pace for these parts, but down there it equated to DFL, which in Open is...8th Place!! The winner did it in 2 hours flat. Basically an Allaire Type vibe and terrain so not hard, but 15mph in the woods is fast. It was a nice reminder that I've broken my body and can't really do these short efforts anymore 🤣
So Stage 2 was right after that ass whooping, a 2.5 mile TT. Being there were people still on the XXC Course the Promoter couldn't change the route markings so he just drew it in the dirt with a stick. Like, go this way and that's the course. Tell me what the timer on your Garmin says when you finish. Definitely a low key event. Managed to also come in DFL for that...8 place!!
Day 2 was the last Stage which was just a tradition XC 3 Lap Race. Surprisingly, I rode well. I guess this is where doing long helps a bit. I tend to get stronger as time goes by. I did not come in DFL doing 21 miles in just over 2 hours. Bumped myself up the 2nd to DFL in the Overall...7th Place!!
I only took 1 pic all weekend of my own bike because I went down with a girl and they're needy. Possible opening for new Adventure Partner available. DM to Apply 🤣

I think Peleton is paying people $688 to take them at this point.
