Day 20 Ride (8/12/2006)

Hoping we can build more traffic in this group, so I decided to post my ride notes here. I tried this once before, but didn't see the post. Made the decision to make my second post-op ride shorter than my first one. Wanted to make sure I didn't get stuck out there overdoing it. Focused on holding an 80 cadence. There's a tiny 10m drop about .75 miles from where I stage, which means it's a 10m rise on the way back. I usually have to drop into a low gear at a low speed to get up it, but today I was able to ramp up to 22mph going into the rise, and only dropped down to 18mph at the peak. About to go on ride #3, so I'll post my ride numbers a bit later.

And here are the numbers: Exe Time:41:31 Mean HR:144 Max HR:161 HR Zone:138-151 In Zone:28:11 Above Zone:5:46 Below Zone: 7:34 Kcal:546 Distance: 8.7 miles Mean Speed 12.7 mph Max Speed: 22.7 mph Mean Cad: 77 Max Cad: 93 Ride Time:41:15 Outbound Time: 22:00 Mean HR:140 Max HR:154 Mean Speed: 11.7 mph Mean Cad: 77 Return Time: 19:31 Mean HR:147 Max HR:161 Mean Speed: 13.5 mph Mean Cad: 78
