Tell us about your weekend ride

That's an impressive maximum heart rate- I have to put myself under substantial load to hit that.

I think my heart is closer to a diesel tractor than an italian V8, it lunks along at 150ish and refuses to rev higher unless I really up the pace and incline.

My maximum heart rate should be in the region of 166 but I have hit 192 a couple of times last year. Here's a link to an attack on a local TT route I did last year where I riding to my (slightly fitter) max. [ame]http://connect.garmin.com/activity/95923688[/ame]

^^^ Sorry to miss you wvm. Thought I might bump into you again but you might not have recognized me since I was on my stupidly yellow geared bike.

Despite having the Kentish countryside right on my doorstep, I really enjoy riding into Greenwich, particularly when the wind is like today. If you look on my route above you can also see one of my favourite stretches of road between Eltham and Bexley which is made even better by these winds. As a further bonus the espresso machine was repaired in the tea hut.
Doubtless I'll see you there again soon.
