Winter ride, part II
Compared to December 31 today's riding conditions were great. At 1:30 pm on a sunny afternoon the temperature stood at 10 degrees C (50 F).
Today was supposed to be a rest day, but I reckoned a recovery ride wouldn't hurt. I rode for 26 km in 55 minutes, forcing myself to stay at the low end of my 65-85% zone, averaging 133 bpm or about 68%. I only got carried away a couple of times, once on the way to Chapareillan where I managed to get up to 50 km at 70% but only to about 55 at 80% running out of road, and once downhill before Montmélian where my top speed was barely better, only 57.6 km/h (35.6 mph).
