I rarely use my HR strap these days, but early on often read 185bpm during training. I was 42 when that recording ^ was taken on our tour. I prefer to do longer rides at weekends... maintaining high cadence, with plenty of hilly climbs.. it was a long old steady journey.. Worth it though.
Suspect in race conditions HR readings would be higher. As I tended to hang out the back of our Peleton (not a euph) soaking up the scenery on the climbs, then blitzing the descents..
As you can read, one nonsense speed spike ruins the recording.
