Really nice ride. Good to bump into Big Daddy Wayne and RickyMundo as well.
Interesting readings from my new for Christmas heart rate monitor.
I rode out to RP generally between 120 and 140 bmp.
I lapped generally between 140 and 160 bpm.
I rode home generally between 130 and 150 bpm.
Sawyers Hill took me to 161. The steep climb after Kingston Gate took me to 165. I got to 159 at the Ballet school and in the final sprint and 157 on the Strand after we had been diverted by road closures.
Given that I am 51 and deducting my age from 220, my rule of thumb max ought to be 169 and so I came pretty close to it but I suspect that my actual max is higher. What happens if you exceed your max or is max as high as you can go?
I can see hours of fun from this. Perhaps I should wear it to the Rollapaluza on 14 January and find out what my real max is.
