Nice Group Trip, Exhausting Leg Day, Then Exhausting Higher Day – BionicOldGuy

On Tuesday my native group went on a pleasant loop experience on a lovely spring day. I led this one, pinch-hitting for our normal chief Kris. We did a counterclockwise loop round Chesbro and Uvas reservoirs, with an additional out-and-back on Casa Loma highway to Rancho Canada Del Oro open area. As a result of I used to be main I took my e-bike which made it simpler for me to be within the again or up entrance as wanted. I additionally used sufficient help so I didn’t must push too onerous, so this counted as a simple day regardless that we rode greater than 30 miles.

On Wednesday I did a solo experience on my recumbent. I experimented with leaving the 28″ again wheel on, placing the 20″ wheel again on up entrance, and placing my extra upright cruising seat on. With this configuration I re-rode my 19K San Martin time trial!!. I used to be 10% slower than having the bike in my efficiency set-up (28″ wheels back and front, extra reclined seat, and headrest), as anticipated. However my time as we speak of 45:13 was a bit sooner than my earlier quickest time in “cruising configuration”, which was with 20″ wheels back and front. That’s truly excellent news, as a result of a 20″ wheel within the again shouldn’t be the very best, the derailleur is just too near the bottom. So now I can simply swap from “cruising” to “efficiency” modes by altering seats and entrance wheel, a couple of ten minute job. I like this versatile bike! After the time trial I did some longer intervals after which some sprints, and I felt nice after the experience.

Yesterday I did my higher physique exercise at house then went for a simple experience on my recumbent. I needed to take away some layers as a result of it bought heat on the end- it bought as much as 77 (25 C) right here as we speak

Tuesday’s experience is on Strava right here. Wednesday’s right here. Yesterday right here and right here.

Chesbro Reservoir remains to be full
Heading Up Casa Loma Highway
The First of Two Security Enhancements on Uvas road- The highway was realigned to make it straighter, and a slim bridge was changed with a wider one. That is close to Little Uvas highway
A number of miles additional south is the second , bigger venture. This concerned a bigger bridge and retainment wall. It seems to only want some landscaping.
