Just got back from a 23-mile ride (for the FL folk- from my house to Palmetto and back), which is really only my second ride (I'm not counting the 7-mile starter one), since I got my cast off. There was an unpleasant wind, with 16-20 mph gusts going south, and I was just about to turn around when my trainer pulled up next to me and made me do seven more miles Going south, I was doing about 11-14 mph and, again, my heart rate was in the 150s, even got up to the 160, which freaked me out a bit, but headed back home, I was going 14-16 mph, and my heart rate was mostly in the low 130s. My cadence sucked both directions, though I was in very easy gears. I feel like I did the first months of having a bike. So, if I'm going to use Sunday as my starting day, my goal for this week is 60 miles. I'm going to ride to my two workout sessions (3 miles each way), and get another 25 in, hopefully on Saturday. If I can get up to doing 30-40 miles in 18/19-ish mph mile zone, I'll be ready to ride with you guys again. I'm hoping for a month from now. Getting the Calfee tomorrow! Excited, though it's so damn light, I'd be afraid to ride in the wind I was in today with it. I'd be blown away.
