February Outside Ride

I was asked if I wanted to ride outside this past Sunday by Ryan P. I said sure, why not, suppose to be sunny and in the 30's.
I rode my older bike and I am glad I did. The roads are still kind of shitty, wet, salty, and some snow & ice on certain parts. Ryan rode to my house and then we headed out.
We rode for two hours, and it wasn't to bad. It was great to get outside. The future forecast doesn't look to be to promising either. Feels like winter is never going to end.
I have a power test on Thursday, looking foreword to it, hoping for some gained fitness.

Testing

On Thursday January 31st I did a power test. It has been a long time since my last test. I believe my last test was late summer.
I started with my warm up and after that I wasn't feeling very confident on the number I was tyring to achieve. The test actually went a little better than I thought. I am on track from last season. I am really hoping to improve quite a bit more for my next test at the end of February.
Training has been going ok. My legs don't like to do the constant Z2 rides for a long period of time. They get really tired and sore, not really sure what that is from? My February plan has less of this and a little more intensity, so I am looking foreword to see how my legs react to it.
I recently bought a new set of wheels. I bought the Bontrager Aeolus 7 D3 Clincher. They are full carbon and 70mm deep, can't wait to ride them outside. Karrie from Extreme Ski and Bike sold my Easton wheels, so this is why I bought a new set. Here is the link to the wheel I bought. http://www.bontrager.com/model/11015
I will stay consistent with the training and test at the end of the month.
