Brisk longer experience – BionicOldGuy


At present I used to be striving for a brisk experience in “zone 2” which is coronary heart fee round 110-120 for me. I went as much as South San Jose and again on my recumbent at a mean hr of 112 so hit my goal fairly properly. It was unexpectedly raining (frivolously) for in regards to the first hour then cleared up on the best way again. I posted the experience on Strava right here. I additionally did a brief experience within the afternoon to a physician’s appointment on my upright e-bike which I exploit for utility functions as a result of it’s simpler to lock.

My solely downside was a flat in the direction of the top of my morning experience. I used to be capable of limp residence with out fixing it as a result of it was a gradual leak, however I did should cease to repump it 4 instances. Surprising higher physique exercise! I’ve had a whole lot of bother with the entrance tire on my recumbent, it’s much less strong than the one on the rear (a Schwalbe “marathon plus” which has their highest puncture safety). So I ordered one other marathon plus for the entrance after I bought residence. These have extra rolling resistance which can gradual me down a bit, nevertheless it’s superb how little that begins to matter once you’ve skilled a number of punctures- reliability is extra essential than efficiency!

Bernal-Gulnac-Joice Ranch, a part of Santa Teresa park. I took a break right here on my approach again proper after it cleared up.
