On Thursday night time I mounted my 28″ wheel again on my recumbent with a heavy responsibility tire. I wished to attempt that set-up out off-road. Yesterday I took it to Coyote Valley Open Space, Northeast of Morgan Hill, and it labored out high-quality, though I need to admit an upright bike with fats tires is best fitted to this. I then headed up north in direction of San Jose on Santa Teresa boulevard. I used to be stunned how briskly the bike felt, theoretically it must 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 rotated, and located a had a extreme headwind to combat by to get dwelling. So this become a reasonably robust exercise, with a mean coronary heart charge of 118. But I made it dwelling okay. Surprisingly, my common pace was 12.6 mph which is a bit greater than I’ve been doing recently. So I assume 28/20 actually is quicker. Posted on Strava right here.
