As we speak I used to be striving for a brisk trip 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 nicely. It was unexpectedly raining (frivolously) for concerning the first hour then cleared up on the way in which again. I posted the trip on Strava right here. I additionally did a brief trip within the afternoon to a health care provider’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 trip. I used to be capable of limp residence with out fixing it as a result of it was a sluggish leak, however I did should cease to repump it 4 instances. Surprising higher physique exercise! I’ve had numerous bother 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 bought residence. These have extra rolling resistance which can sluggish me down a bit, however it’s wonderful how little that begins to matter if you’ve skilled a number of punctures- reliability is extra necessary than efficiency!
