One other Week Of Rides and Exercises – BionicOldGuy

I completed putting in an electrical help package on my recumbent, from a British firm right here. I’ll be describing it in additional element in a publish quickly. For now suffice it to say I’m delighted in it. I took it for my first lengthy take a look at trip final Friday, and it carried out fantastically. I took the identical bike out on rides Saturday and Sunday which had been very pleasing. Monday I did my higher physique power exercise then took my upright on a shorter trip. Tuesday was my group trip and I took the recumbent for the primary time shortly. With help I can sustain with the group simply climbing, whereas on downhills and the flats I don’t want help due to the aerodynamic benefit of the recumbent. So this made the group trip a neater social outing. On Wednesday I took the recumbent once more, and after an extended cruise I did some intervals and sprints. I did much less of those than previously however pushed more durable. I did 8x repetitions of 90 second intervals with about 30 seconds restoration, then 8 reps of 20 sec sprints with 10 second restoration (that is the traditional “Tabata” intervals), adopted by on-bike power coaching. I favored this intense however shorter session. Yesterday I repeated Monday’s exercise, solely this time I took my upright out to Coyote Valley Open Area which was a enjoyable outing.
