Brisk longer journey – BionicOldGuy

Right now I used to be striving for a brisk journey 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 median hr of 112 so hit my goal fairly nicely. It was unexpectedly raining (evenly) 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 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 downside was a flat in direction of the top of my morning journey. I used to be capable of limp residence with out fixing it as a result of it was a gradual leak, however I did must cease to repump it 4 instances. Sudden higher physique exercise! I’ve had quite a lot of hassle with the entrance tire on my recumbent, it’s much less sturdy 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 obtained residence. These have extra rolling resistance which can gradual me down a bit, but it surely’s superb how little that begins to matter if you’ve skilled a number of punctures- reliability is extra vital than efficiency!
