Sorry I missed some days of reporting, this may catch me up. Thursday was my higher physique exercise which I did within the storage, then I took my recumbent out, with the efficiency seat in a extremely reclined place and my new headrest. It was surprisingly not noticeably sooner than my regular setup. I did do a PR of 94 sec on a neighborhood dash problem, the Digital loop, which is about 4 seconds sooner than the opposite setup, so at the very least “efficiency mode” works a bit higher on shorter challenges. Possibly I’ll reserve it for makes use of like that, like after we do Hellyer Park Velodrome HPV day in Could. However the regular setup is certainly extra snug for longer rides so I put the bike again that approach later within the day. Thursday’s experience is right here on Strava.

Friday was a simple day, so I did a cruise on the recumbent within the morning. out and again on the Coyote Creek path then east and southeast of Morgan Hill (right here), then took my upright e-bike out within the afternoon (right here).

Saturday was laborious using day so I rode a brisk tempo as much as south San Jose, then again on the West aspect to Morgan Hill, at a mean coronary heart charge of 122. I threw in a bunch of intervals additionally and a few on-bike energy coaching. This was a more durable experience however I felt nice. On Strava right here.

Yesterday was one other higher physique exercise, after which I cruised round domestically on my recumbent (right here), then within the afternoon I did one other cruise, largely in search of enjoyable filth and gravel spots, on my e-bike (right here).

Observe on e-bikes and recording mileage

I discussed beforehand that I’ve joined a Strava problem to experience greater than 600K miles this month. With electrical help I positively cowl extra miles with the identical effort, though that is offset considerably as a result of my vada has fats tires and I typically take it off street. However, once I whole up my miles I’m going to knock off about 20% of the miles ridden on the vado to make sure it’s not giving me an unfair benefit. Most of my miles this month can be unassisted, on the recumbent.
