Weekend Using – BionicOldGuy

Sorry I missed some days of reporting, this can catch me up. Thursday was my higher physique exercise which I did within the storage, then I took my recumbent out, with the efficiency seat in a extremely reclined place and my new headrest. It was surprisingly not noticeably sooner than my regular setup. I did do a PR of 94 sec on an area dash problem, the Digital loop, which is about 4 seconds sooner than the opposite setup, so at the very least “efficiency mode” works a bit higher on shorter challenges. Perhaps I’ll reserve it for makes use of like that, like after we do Hellyer Park Velodrome HPV day in Could. However the regular setup is certainly extra snug for longer rides so I put the bike again that means later within the day. Thursday’s trip is here on Strava.

Friday was a simple day, so I did a cruise on the recumbent within the morning. out and again on the Coyote Creek path then east and southeast of Morgan Hill (here), then took my upright e-bike out within the afternoon (here).

Saturday was arduous driving day so I rode a brisk tempo as much as south San Jose, then again on the West aspect to Morgan Hill, at a median coronary heart charge of 122. I threw in a bunch of intervals additionally and a few on-bike power coaching. This was a harder trip however I felt nice. On Strava here.

Yesterday was one other higher physique exercise, after which I cruised round regionally on my recumbent (here), then within the afternoon I did one other cruise, principally on the lookout for enjoyable dust and gravel spots, on my e-bike (here).

Notice on e-bikes and recording mileage

I discussed beforehand that I’ve joined a Strava problem to trip greater than 600K miles this month. With electrical help I undoubtedly cowl extra miles with the identical effort, though that is offset considerably as a result of my vada has fats tires and I usually take it off highway. However, after I whole up my miles I’m going to knock off about 20% of the miles ridden on the vado to make certain it’s not giving me an unfair benefit. Most of my miles this month will likely be unassisted, on the recumbent.
