Brisk longer journey – BionicOldGuy

As we speak I used to be striving for a brisk journey in “zone 2” which is coronary heart price 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 properly. It was unexpectedly raining (calmly) for in regards to the first hour then cleared up on the best way 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 drawback was a flat in the direction of the tip 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 need to cease to repump it 4 instances. Sudden higher physique exercise! I’ve had a whole lot 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 acquired residence. These have extra rolling resistance which can gradual me down a bit, however it’s superb how little that begins to matter once you’ve skilled a number of punctures- reliability is extra necessary than efficiency!

Bernal-Gulnac-Joice Ranch, a part of Santa Teresa park. I took a break right here on my means again proper after it cleared up.
