Simple Day, Then a Metric Century – BionicOldGuy

Wednesday was exhausting higher physique day, which I did first for 35 minutes at residence. Then I squeezed in a 21 minute simple journey earlier than lunch, and one other 34 within the afternoon. Rides are posted right here and right here.

Yesterday my spouse had an errand so we had been going separate for lunch, so I made a decision to knock off the metric century journey for the Strava problem I’d signed up for. I’m nonetheless just a little gun-shy about flats, so I did three separate sections to attenuate the furthest I’d be from my home. I rode 100.4 km (62 miles) in a using time of 5 hours 12 minutes, and a complete elapsed time of 5 hours 40 minutes, with a few snack breaks alongside the way in which, for a mean velocity of 19.3 kph (12 mph). That’s not unhealthy contemplating I used to be utilizing my heavy responsibility tires, not efficiency tires. Thankfully I had a pleasant sunny day for it. Posted on Strava right here.
