Today's ride was 7:15 in duration and a bit over 120 miles. My avg power was 139 watts and NP was 150 watts, which increasingly I feel will be reasonable targets for the 508. We'll see how my power holds up when I start riding 200+ miles....
Todays' ride took me down first to Cape May and then North and West (hard to go the other way) up into cumberland county:
My power output was very comfortable and if anything increased slightly as the ride progressed
I left above 5:25 am and the temp was in thigh 60s. by the finish it was fitting with 90. Humid as well but i did a pretty good job of hydrating so felt good and strong the whole way!

Next week I will push up over 8 hours and start pushing 140 miles or try to back-to-back rides of around 6 hours (100 miles) on consecutive days.
Racing the 508 will obviously cause me to have to be able to ride around 36 hours over a 48 hour period so I'm thinking mixing in ever longer single shot rides with some slightly shorter back-to-back efforts may be beneficial....
