Onerous Exercise With Headwind – BionicOldGuy

On Thursday night time I mounted my 28″ wheel again on my recumbent with a heavy obligation tire. I wished to attempt that set-up out off-road. Yesterday I took it to Coyote Valley Open Area, Northeast of Morgan Hill, and it labored out positive, though I have to admit an upright bike with fats tires is best fitted to this. I then headed up north in the direction of San Jose on Santa Teresa boulevard. I used to be shocked how briskly the bike felt, theoretically it needs to be barely much less aerodynamic than my arrange with two 20″ wheels, though that may be offset as a result of the 28″ rear wheel has a bit much less rolling resistance. After about 90 minutes I circled, and located a had a extreme headwind to battle by way of to get house. So this changed into a fairly robust exercise, with a median coronary heart price of 118. However I made it house okay. Surprisingly, my common velocity was 12.6 mph which is a bit greater than I’ve been doing these days. So I suppose 28/20 actually is quicker. Posted on Strava right here.
