Brisk Local Ride – BionicOldGuy


Today ought to have been my Tuesday group journey however rain was forecast so we didn’t do one. I rode anyway and obtained all equipped for the rain but it surely turned out to not arrive until after my journey was over. I managed to sneak in a brisk 35 mile journey in fairly good climate.

Still sunny as I used to be heading house

Today was “hard” day on the bike so after using at a fast however manageable “zone 2” tempo for a bit over 90 minutes I threw in some sooner lengthy intervals to enhance lactate threshold after which some quick sprints with lengthy restoration in between, then completed with a better cooldown. This is what I’ve been doing for arduous day just lately, and it feels difficult however nice. In the phrases of the nice working coach Bill Bowerman, a superb exercise ought to go away you feeling “exhilarated not exhausted” and this one does.

I did all this on my Corsa recumbent within the configuration with 20″ wheels back and front. I’ve been actually having fun with this, it makes for a compact however quick little bike. It reminds of the primary snug recumbent I ever had, the Rans Rocket, which is a traditional that’s sadly by no means made. The Corsa is analogous however lighter and sooner.

Me using my Rans Rocket. About 18 years in the past!
