Brisk longer journey – BionicOldGuy


At present I used to be striving for a brisk journey in “zone 2” which is coronary heart charge round 110-120 for me. I went as much as South San Jose and again on my recumbent at a median hr of 112 so hit my goal fairly nicely. It was unexpectedly raining (frivolously) for in regards to the first hour then cleared up on the way in which again. I posted the journey on Strava right here. I additionally did a brief journey 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 tip of my morning journey. I used to be in a position to limp house with out fixing it as a result of it was a gradual leak, however I did should cease to repump it 4 occasions. Surprising higher physique exercise! I’ve had numerous hassle 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 once I acquired house. These have extra rolling resistance which can gradual me down a bit, but it surely’s wonderful how little that begins to matter once you’ve skilled a number of punctures- reliability is extra vital 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.
