I joined a friend's ride from work.We rode from downtown to Cherry Creek Res.,
on to 470. We turned up Santa Fe just short of Chatfield Res and head back downtown.
Friend and I added 10 miles to/from my house to downtown. The group of us, 4 from
that office and me, suffered 3 flat and 2 loose cleats, lots of sore butts and
a slow rider. We rode 65.4 miles in 4:55:45 at 13.2 mph. The crazy thing is the
whole ride took 8 hours and over those hours, I averaged 129bpm. Consistent
cadence, rythm and pace were not on the menu today. I would slow down to keep
my eye on the slow one and then race to the front with a burst of energy. I saw 170 on
my heart rate monitor once, and 159 a lot. I was encouraged with the suggestion
that intervals are good for you.
I need to get ready for an epic ride from Boulder to Ward, Lyons, Hygiene and back
to Boulder next week.
