Riding the trails

As my trail building slows I’ve spent more time walking and riding. Slowly but surely my time in the saddle is on the up and up and it feels so nice to be peddling again! I’m not back to my 3 hour ride time but this past week I’ve had daily ride times of 90 minutes to two hours. My rides are different in a variety of ways in that they are now primarily on the trails which means they slower. On average a Rad Rover road ride was about 12.5 mph whereas a trail ride on the Gravity is about 6.2 mph. Also, rather than one long ride each day I’m tending to take 2 to 3 rides a day.

I feel like the workout is better on the trails but my heart rate seems to be about the same, perhaps just a bit higher than on the e-bike.

The recent ride journal:
4/28 11.1
4/30 11.5
5/1 13.6
5/2 15
5/3 12.6
5/4 12
5/5 12.9
5/6 10.7
5/7 11.7

I don't have comments but I love email or you can find me on Mastodon.
