Immediately I used to be striving for a brisk experience in “zone 2” which is coronary heart fee round 110-120 for me. I went as much as South San Jose and again on my recumbent at a median hr of 112 so hit my goal fairly effectively. It was unexpectedly raining (flippantly) for concerning the first hour then cleared up on the best way again. I posted the experience on Strava right here. I additionally did a brief experience within the afternoon to a health care provider’s appointment on my upright e-bike which I take advantage of for utility functions as a result of it’s simpler to lock.
My solely downside was a flat in the direction of the top of my morning experience. 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 occasions. Surprising higher physique exercise! I’ve had lots of hassle 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 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 whenever you’ve skilled a number of punctures- reliability is extra essential than efficiency!
