Great Group Ride, Hard Leg Day, Then Hard Upper Day – BionicOldGuy


On Tuesday my native group went on a pleasant loop journey on a gorgeous spring day. I led this one, pinch-hitting for our normal chief Kris. We did a counterclockwise loop round Chesbro and Uvas reservoirs, with an additional out-and-back on Casa Loma highway to Rancho Canada Del Oro open house. Because I used to be main I took my e-bike which made it simpler for me to be within the again or up entrance as wanted. I additionally used sufficient help so I didn’t must push too arduous, so this counted as a simple day regardless that we rode greater than 30 miles.

On Wednesday I did a solo journey on my recumbent. I experimented with leaving the 28″ again wheel on, placing the 20″ wheel again on up entrance, and placing my extra upright cruising seat on. With this configuration I re-rode my 19K San Martin time trial!!. I used to be 10% slower than having the bike in my efficiency set-up (28″ wheels back and front, extra reclined seat, and headrest), as anticipated. But my time in the present day of 45:13 was a bit quicker than my earlier quickest time in “cruising configuration”, which was with 20″ wheels back and front. That’s truly excellent news, as a result of a 20″ wheel within the again will not be the most effective, the derailleur is simply too near the bottom. So now I can simply swap from “cruising” to “performance” modes by altering seats and entrance wheel, a couple of ten minute job. I like this versatile bike! After the time trial I did some longer intervals after which some sprints, and I felt nice after the journey.

Yesterday I did my higher physique exercise at house then went for a simple journey on my recumbent. I needed to take away some layers as a result of it obtained heat on the end- it obtained as much as 77 (25 C) right here in the present day

Tuesday’s journey is on Strava right here. Wednesday’s right here. Yesterday right here and right here.

Chesbro Reservoir continues to be full
Heading Up Casa Loma Road
The First of Two Safety Improvements on Uvas road- The highway was realigned to make it straighter, and a slim bridge was changed with a wider one. This is close to Little Uvas highway
A number of miles additional south is the second , bigger undertaking. This concerned a bigger bridge and retainment wall. It seems to simply want some landscaping.
Our Group (minus Bob, who took the shot) it entrance of an outdated barn on Casa Loma highway. Someone mentioned the aim of the image was to point out that there’s something on the earth in worse form than we’re!
