I’ve been off work for almost three weeks during the Adaptive Path holiday shutdown. One of my big goals for this time was to ride my bike every day. While I didn’t accomplish this (it was impossible) I did ride a lot and am pretty stoked to have spent so much time cycling. Here’s a few statistics that I’ve gathered:
| Vacation Days | 20 |
|---|---|
| Cycling Days | 9 |
| Sick Days | 2 |
| Travel Days | 4 |
| Pounds Lost | 2 |
| Spokes Broken | 2 |
| Total | Max/Day | Avg/Day | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Distance (miles) | 283.52 | 38.91 | 31.50 |
| Moving Time (hh:mm:ss) | 19:24:23 | 3:06:08 | 2:09:23 |
| Avg Speed (mph) | - | 16.9 | 14.9 |
| Max Speed (mph) | - | 44.5 | 37.91 |
| Avg Heart Rate (bpm) | - | 159 | 152 |
| Elevation Gain (feet) | 22,965 | 4,895 | 2,552 |
| Temperature (deg F) | - | 60 | 52 |
Of the 9 total bike rides, I only took the same course twice. I climbed up to the top of Mount Diablo (3,881 ft summit) on Jan 3rd and on Dec 22nd. On the second attempt I had a slightly slower pace (5 seconds), which was a little bit surprising since I really felt strong today and it seemed that the 2 weeks of training were paying off. I am blaming this on the storm that hit the Bay Area today. While it didn’t rain when I was on the bike, it was SUPER windy at the top of the mountain and I had a headwind for the last 10 miles home.
