Wednesday Recover Ride



Miles: 40.38
August Total: 822.40

Joanne was substituting as a Yoga instructor so I lead the Salem Bicycle Club Wednesday Night Ride by myself. As such, I had to opportunity to ride to the start of the ride from home.

I took it easy in the cool evening air (this is August?). Going to the start of the ride I had a tail wind so I could move along very quickly without too much work. The ride itself was very easy as I stayed with a new and slow rider on the 22 mile course. It is not nice to drop new folks.

The return was into the wind and I worked harder because of that and because darkness was falling.

All in all, it was a nice recovery ride, but my legs did hurt on the only hill of the night. For the ride, my average heart rate was 86 bpm and my average speed was 14.4. HAC4 Analysis.

After the ride, I now have a nagging pain in my right knee. It is sore when I first start walking, but then the pain goes away as I walk.
