The Giro di Coppi registration is, in fact, open. Go hurt yourself on a tough, tough course. It will probably be steenking hot, and humid, so you'll be dying the whole time. Go get your legs broken by the field. Struggle to close that yawning gap. Get dropped. Limp in. Marvel at what a fun time you had. Or if you're strong and lucky, win.
Go register.

And in other news the shop ride went fine. I can't climb standing up or pull over 600 watts without serious foot discomfort, but I can cruise at threshold or a hundred watts over it, so the training starts again. We weren't going that hard, just a steady grind over close to 40 miles, but I managed an NP of 297 (WKO claims an IF of .975, but I haven't tested threshold in a while) so we probably weren't going that easy either.
God bless Italy, little Italian cobblers, soft frickin' leather, and Sidi. They aren't going to improve the efficiency of my anaerobic efforts, but they will be a lot more comfy everywhere else. Man, what I've been missing... I thought it was normal for my feet to hurt all the time on a ride.

Good to see you can ride without too much pain. Serious riding is all about suffering, but not that kind. Sidi - the name is synonymous with comfort and the ultimate bling. I'm not sure I could pull it off, though I might try.
