A number of Driving This Week – BionicOldGuy

I could have overdone the quantity of driving this week, however the climate has been good so it’s been enjoyable. Final Tuesday we did a bunch trip within the hills East of Gilroy that began on the Mendoza ranch entrance to Harvey Bear park. I normally catch a trip up there from my pal’s home, however currently on account of SI joint points I haven’t been capable of trip my upright on this lengthy of a trip, and I used to be afraid my recumbent wouldn’t slot in her automobile. So I rode the recumbent from residence to the beginning, making this a complete of 90 km (56 miles) for me (and three batteries). It was an excellent trip, although. From the valley this time of yr, it appears to be like actually dry within the east hills, and it’s all the time wonderful how fairly it’s while you stand up in them. On Wednesday I did considered one of my laborious rides, 85 km in 3 hours 25 minutes, with a bit over two hours brisk tempo adopted by some intervals and sprints. Thursday was a tough higher physique session adopted by a straightforward restoration trip, then Friday I went to a protracted brisk tempo trip of three Hours 20 minutes. Then yesterday was some simple arm-cycling and a simple restoration trip for a complete of 70 minutes.
