And back in Brooklyn right after saying goodbye to Therry I got pulled over by cops on 5th ave and Bergen for tippy toeing my way across a red light on a one way street with no cars and pedestrians crossing the empty road. This is my first ticket ever hopefully someone experienced can give me a few pointers on what to do next. 

@Renat no worries, buddy. I should have been paying more attention anyway. Just some road rash on my arm and an excuse to turn around early.

Thanks for the tow up the west side this morning Kissena. I rode the rocket and got in 96 miles with 5000ft of climbing... which made my weekly TSS 620.

Orchards rocked with the gang!  Perfect weather, didn't really get yelled or honked at, NO FLATS OR BROKEN SPOKES, 97 miles and home by 2.

TSS 877

perhaps we should write a letter to Hudson River Conservatory Trust (or whatever they are called) and tell them that those bollards cause bike accidents and whether they have actually done a study to determine that they are helpful in any way for safety. My guess is that someone just thought they were a good idea without any actual data. We could copy the DOT. 

Yes, David, sorry it happened, especially after such a strong comeback yesterday, but glad you're ok.  I had a good ride of 100 miles, solo  after breaking from the group at Sparkill.  A lovely day to be out on the bike.  Good to see everyone this early AM.

95 miles for me. I fell asleep seated upright still in kit for a full hour after downing my Osmo. Acute recovery indeed.

I had to drink a red bull and an iced coffee just to walk around the neighborhood with Maria

Post-ride I did some pushups and crunches then went to crossfit and played a few sets of tennis.  No hydration.  Only ate my fingernails.

I only did 65. But hailed down 9w after hitting clsusland. I has a beer and overhauled my pedals.

^please continue and expand on your activities^

I had a personal sized cherry pie at the orchards and my TSS was 9 million

If my TSS reflected all the kilometers of the Giro I watched, I'd take off this week, and head to the Dauphine to show Froome a thing or two.  

I had a personal sized Rhubarb pie at the Orchards and my TSS was Jamacian Bobsled, mon. Is 877 hard? (I'm still figuring all this metric nonsense)

Yes, impossibly so, but in our case 877 is fake.

Explain.

I have no idea what TSS is I just posted that.

Khan!

No doubt JP, you missed a good one today. Some fun was had on the climbs, but Dale, in his quiet Southern way, kept us in line for plenty of double paceline pro-style on the flats and rollers. JP, I took a page from your book and for those who rode with me and Jeffs and Garrigan a few weeks back, I made sure the return trip had some different turns to ensure total confusion. But also fun.

so i got out at 5.30 to do a Peirmont ride. what fun! I think getting up early pays off when it means racing down flatbush with few cars in the way and also racing over Brooklyn bridge without anyone but the construction workers taking the view

@vlad 64% for 20 hours sounds about right.

20 hours of training on the bike this week? Wow.

@Erika Tarte‌ the way TSS works is to take your intensity factor and square it then multiple by time. 64% would barely be .6 IF giving you 36 TSS per hour. That would result in 720 for 20 hours.

@erogot, my misunderstanding of how the percentages work. I managed 20hrs on the bike this week, all at an endurance to low-tempo intensity factor (some .75s, some .86s... all averaging about .8) which comes up with 1280 based on the formula you shared.
