2nd and final ride out of Heber City. This isn't really a good road bike city and I don't plan on returning. Still, I had a fairly good 30+ mile ride this morning from the bike shop in town, down Hwy 40 and out of town on Hwy 189, around the reservoir and down past the dam. As I headed farther down the canyon I turned into a community called CANYON MEADOWS and rode up a 16 degree hill to the top.
The shoulder in town was a mess from highway construction (chip sealing) and the shoulders down 189 were mostly OK but scary once in a while when they shrunk to about 2 feet.
At least I got some exercise. Actually, good exercise, My NP was 155 and my IF was .750
I did 1,680' of climbing. I still don't have my legs from the big Triple Bypass last Saturday (only 4 days ago).
I averaged 17 mph which is just fine, but I'm a bit surprised by my heatrate. I worked fairly hard and yet my average was only 118 bpm. Either I'm getting in really good shape or something in my body is changing. I'll keep an eye on it.
