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 simple experience 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 had been going separate for lunch, so I made a decision to knock off the metric century experience for the Strava problem I’d signed up for. I’m nonetheless slightly 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 using 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 mean pace of 19.3 kph (12 mph). That’s not dangerous contemplating I used to be utilizing my heavy responsibility tires, not efficiency tires. Luckily I had a pleasant sunny day for it. Posted on Strava right here.
