    Do you other cyclist pay much attention to your heart rates ? Do any of you use heart rate monitors ?
    PAC, I may check that movie out tonight.
    Mtn, good luck in your search for a new bike.

      Admittedly I'm just a duffer, but I've been thinking about getting one. I'm interested to see how hard I'm working objectively. I think for a newbie like me, it would be helpful.

        Yes, I pay attention to it more than anything else, but that is probably a carry over from running where heart rate is a big thing to watch.

          Either way it sounds like an amazing movie

            I do too, on my road bike anyway. To convert from running, I read somewhere that you should subtract 10, which seems about right for effort on the different zones.
            At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

              I was very involved in running for a period of time doing 9 marathons and countless other races and I never worried about HR. This morning my resting HR was 62. I thought it would be lower given my riding for eleven weeks but maybe it will go down as I drop more weight ?

                20 miler after morning appointments. On the way back I got into a duel with another rider. I try to catch anyone in front of me and not let anyone behind me catch me. I used to do this when I ran and it really adds flavor to workouts. It took me three miles to catch this guy, he stayed kind of close for two-three and I dropped him on the flats for the final four.
                70 minutes. I know it's slow for most of you but I can't tell you how much I get a kick out of racing another rider. Great way to start week 12.

                  Did he know you were racing?

                    That goes without saying. Have you stopped riding ?

                      Not stopped, but this last week has been harder to get out due to some medical issues in the household. Saturday I did 7.4 miles pulling a cart with one of my daughters.

                        20 miler. One day soon I will ride further but I'm big on good daily habits and it's working.

                        Edit. Took my wife out for an evening ride on her new road bike and did 16.75 miles.
                        Very nice evening ride.

                            20 miler. Humid. Crosswind today. Track workout tonight. 6x800. Crab cakes after running.

                              4.5 miles. No pulling. Since I wasn't pulling anyone/thing, my 9-year-old had a lot of trouble keeping up, so I didn't go nearly as far as I wanted before nightfall.

                                Good job with the consistent riding, OB and P. OB, how is your wife liking the new sport and new bike?
