Snow opening delays at the Camp, good for an extended moring VR power ride

Happy New Year 2010 to all of Py's blog readers -- almost forgot...!

Starting into the new year with a snow delayed Camp opening, great :-) These days are really cold on LI, recently again new snow out east, high winds up to 50mph and temperatures around -10C, and ice/snow all over the roads . Regardless his hand issue, this is not the weather to be out on the roads safely. But it is improving well with a lot of training and physical therapy -- only his thumb, is still bothering him most, pretty tight ligaments -- a lot of painful work to do on this one...

However, the gained extra time allowed for a little extended VR trainer session, just picked an old route and positioned about 45 minutes away from home today. In brief:
High Power/CAD session for 5' warm up around 185W -- 15' around 230..250W to bump up average to 220W -- 5' recover -- 10' to get up and keep up average at 200Watts, final "VR spin home" and cool down ... total came out to 50 minutes -- virtually finishing at Tildas :-)

Noticed: The lower bar position is due to wrist bend pretty uncomfy/painful -- this must improve ASAP.
