Lots of Riding This Week – BionicOldGuy

I’ll have overdone the quantity of driving this week, however the climate has been good so it’s been enjoyable. Last Tuesday we did a bunch journey within the hills East of Gilroy that began on the Mendoza ranch entrance to Harvey Bear park. I normally catch a journey up there from my buddy’s home, however these days as a consequence of SI joint points I haven’t been in a position to journey my upright on this lengthy of a journey, and I used to be afraid my recumbent wouldn’t slot in her automobile. So I rode the recumbent from residence to the beginning, making this a complete of 90 km (56 miles) for me (and three batteries). It was an excellent journey, although. From the valley this time of 12 months, it seems to be actually dry within the east hills, and it’s all the time wonderful how fairly it’s while you rise up in them. On Wednesday I did one in every of my laborious rides, 85 km in 3 hours 25 minutes, with a bit over two hours brisk tempo adopted by some intervals and sprints. Thursday was a tough higher physique session adopted by a simple restoration journey, then Friday I went to an extended brisk tempo journey of three Hours 20 minutes. Then yesterday was some simple arm-cycling and a simple restoration journey for a complete of 70 minutes.
