What's It All About?

Follow me, or better yet join me as I journey into my sixties... enjoying my grandchildren... trying to stay healthy and fit... maybe some traveling and whatever else tickles my fancy.

Hot Fun Summer In The City

Another warm day, another ride in... I was out on the road 30 minutes after I got home from work... I get out there while the weather is still in the low 70's... just a nice short, easy ride in the 'hood... I stayed out for an hour and did 15 miles.

GPS is working fine... although the screen is readable in the sun, I think my last bike computer was a little easier to read in the bright sunlight... but I can read it... and all the data... and boy does it record a lot of info... I get Total time, time I was moving, time I was stopped, average speed, max speed, elevation gain & loss, cadence(avg. & max.), temperature (Min., Max, & avg.), Heart rate (avg & max)... what I had for breakfast...  and that's just a small sampling... for heart rates I get the max, the avg. and how much time I spent in each heart rate zone... good to know because some zones are aerobic, and some anaerobic... and if the beats stop, ride right over the ER.

Luckily I'm a data junkie, so I can take these numbers and analyze 'em, scrutinize 'em, stack 'em all up high and then crunch 'em. 
OK I gotta go replace some calories, have a great day all.
