I had a most enjoyable ride today. It was a "no-drop" ride that started at All About Bicycles on Schillenger Road. The ride was not as long as I would like to do on a Saturday so I rode to the ride. There were 13 people in attendance. We all had a great time. I planned on riding the ride again next week, but I just realized the ride on the National Senior Games Association 40k course is next Saturday. The City is even closing down the tunnel for us from 8am-Noon. Even though I enjoyed myself today, I will likely do the 40k ride. There are not many times you get the opportunity to ride in the Bankhead Tunnel.
40.48 miles - 16.1 avg speed - avg hr 141 bpm - max hr 192 bpm (Note Below) - 2,659 calories burned
Max HR note: This occurred at the end of the ride. AJ Beach and myself were side by side at the front of the group. He stood up and said let's go...He got the jump on me as I was in the small ring just spinning. I shifted and picked up momentum. AJ had the lead on me and I was sure he would get to the store first, but I kept digging in. The grade was slightly uphill and I kept gaining on him little by little. I finally edged by him near the end at a HR of 192 and max speed of 32.0 mph. It felt great to do that...thanks AJ!
