Brisk longer experience – BionicOldGuy

As we speak 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 nicely. It was unexpectedly raining (evenly) for concerning 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 health care provider’s appointment on my upright e-bike which I take advantage of for utility functions as a result of it’s simpler to lock.

My solely drawback was a flat in the direction of the top of my morning experience. I used to be in a position to limp dwelling with out fixing it as a result of it was a gradual leak, however I did should cease to repump it 4 instances. Sudden higher physique exercise! I’ve had plenty 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 dwelling. These have extra rolling resistance which can gradual me down a bit, nevertheless it’s superb how little that begins to matter whenever you’ve skilled a number of punctures- reliability is extra vital than efficiency!
