Strong, Short Ride

Posted at 5:43 pm under Training

Today was a good day for a little lunch hour ride.  Only 15 miles in 50 minutes, but into a 10 mph headwind in the first half…of course, it turned into quite the nice tailwind on the return trip!  The best result from today was keeping my HR up around 150 for 41 minutes.  Bike riding is harder than  it looks, too.  This winter has been spent learning how to pedal in a smooth, high-cadence with light down pressure and good pull on the backside of the stroke.  It seems as though every time I go out, this element improves.
