Tonights ride is on the short side for duration, so I picked up the pace a little bit so the legs don't forget what it is like to be pushed a little. I figured that a pace a little over 19 mph would be sufficient to put the heart rate up near the top of the E2 range (161 bpm). Since the ride is short I shortened the warm-up to under 10 minutes. The legs felt fairly sore throught the day and the beginning of the ride was the same. After the 20 minute mark the legs woke up and holding 19.5 mph was fairly easy and the legs were just under the point where they would "load" up. Towards the end of the ride the speed slowed slightly, but mostly because I was getting a little lazy an not because the legs were tired. I finished up strong and spun for about 2 minutes to cool down.
