Simple Day, Then a Metric Century – BionicOldGuy

Wednesday was arduous higher physique day, which I did first for 35 minutes at house. Then I squeezed in a 21 minute straightforward 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 have 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 somewhat 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 driving 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 median velocity of 19.3 kph (12 mph). That’s not dangerous contemplating I used to be utilizing my heavy obligation tires, not efficiency tires. Happily I had a pleasant sunny day for it. Posted on Strava right here.
