Daylight saving time ended (<>), so I was able to ride a little sooner with the time trial guys. The streets were still damp from some evening precipitation, but it didn't turn out to be a problem. We met at Jim's house at 7:00 and did the normal time trial route. John was still recovering from a bout with the flu but seemed pretty much back to normal. Nothing special about the ride, I was a little faster than normal in the first half but slowed down in the second, as the exertion from the previous day's ride caught up with me.

I got home in time to get ready for church and go with Ann. It was a mildly pleasant experience, was sad to see all of the people, on All Saints Sunday, who had died over the past year. Nice, short conversation with Paul Gerard and Dirk Reschly on the patio afterwards, then we drove home. After getting something to eat, we went out in the backyard and worked on our garden. I tilled the amendment we bought into the soil, then we pulled some of the compost out of our old compost bin and added it in as well. Next, I ran the soaker hose lines from the sprinkler head into the bed and created four planting rows. When I tested the lines, they worked, but I found two other drip sprinkler heads that had popped off, so I fixed those as well. Ann planted some herbs and vegetables, while I planted two little sections of radishes. We will see how it goes in the next couple of days, as the seeds are expected to sprout. I read a little bit in the afternoon and had a short nap. I watched a little TV before dinner, then decided to ride on the trainer after dinner. Couldn't get Peacock to load, so I rode a route in MyWhoosh. Got it all to work this time, including Kickr response to gradient on the virtual route. I still need to figure out how to play music while I'm riding in MyWhoosh. Rode for 10 miles.

Avg power = 187 W. Weighted avg power = 192 W

It was quiet for the rest of the evening.
