I played-around with the FITIV App’s interpretation of 100% Effort and managed to get my Red Zone Heart-Rate to begin at 162 beats per minute instead of 154 as it had been. This tweak gives à mon avis a truer picture of what I feel I’m experiencing.

It’s now much easier to see the Warm-up the Chases and then the Cool-Down.

I took the heavy bike out for a good spin today. There were way too many Rent-A-Bikers out but still I had some fun.

A mini-van driver tried twice to make me crash but I’m a crafty old bastard & I did not crash.

I avoided a storm which never developed. Still some good plateaus.

I stayed inside nearly all day. Going a bit nuts.

They hit us with an Air Quality Alert but once I saw the usual joggers out jogging I took the Halfbike out on some empty streets. I’m getting better at steering & have begun pedaling with more attention to my thighs than to my femurs.

I bought my lone Belt-Drive bike in pure impulse because my Fixie needed some repairs & I feared not riding. She is very light and her gear-ratio is effortless uphill — I feel it as 5th gear. She does not sprint & her handlebars are set to over 1/4th Victim To The Wind. Each time I ride her I enjoy the ride but in honesty I prefer more difficult bikes doing more difficult things; I keep her for company shd any guest want to ride & not know how to ride a Fixie.

That said I had a wonderful time with her today. Up some very challenging hills & hill-combinations.

I figured I’d beat the rain this morning with a quick Halfbike ride but my 7 am start became an 8 am start. Still I got in a good 6 miles. Nearly empty roads.

Aurora was tough today; weary legs but I got in 11 miles in 35 minutes.

Decided to take a modified Friday route with emphasis on Frisbee Golf Hill, Real Golf Hill, Lillian, and Fortland. Hill Repeats are much more fun in low humidity. 1517 feet of Up.

I’m planning on some Fixie Climbing tomorrow so I rode a short one on nearly empty streets.
