Nice gravel ride on my touring bike!
I went on a long ride today… I managed 43 miles in 3.5 hours. That was a bit of a stretch as I got a little lost coming home and was only aiming for ~35 miles. It was a beautiful day and I found a ton more gravel trails as well as some good dirt roads. I’ve got ~6 weeks left before my bike trip where I hope to do around 40 to 60 miles a day, so hopefully, I get there :). I am really happy that I am getting in better cardio shape finally, I miss running but this is slowly getting better and better.
Some other fun stats from my ride…
– 2300 feet of altitude gain… pretty flat.
– An average heart rate of 134. Although I spent 51 minutes of the ride in zone 4 with a heart rate between 144 to 161.
– Max speed of 30 mph, an average of 12 mph (I am not very fast, the racers blow past me!)
Pretty good workout for my heart on that last stretch…
