Slow Saturday



Miles: 73.01
August Total: 73.01

Joanne and I lead the Salem Bicycle Club ride today: Dahlias from Mt. Angel. The ride started in the small town of Mt. Angel and went north to Canby and the Swan Inland Dahlia Farm. Since we were the ride leaders, and the Ring of Fire 24 Hour Time Trial in next weekend, we took it very slow and stayed at the back of the pack. Our average for the day was just 14.9 miles per hour on a very flat ride. My heart rate average was 85 beats per minute. The day was hot, over 90° F during the afternoon, but it was only hot when we stopped for traffic. The 15 mph wind chill was enough to keep us cool.
