Old and in the way.
Goal- at least 4 hours per week @MIN. 10 MPH (I just started biking again in January with two knee injuries this winter. I am up from 2 miles at 9.5 MPH and I call it a win.)
Last week: 6.5 hours 74.4 miles average of 11.4 MPH
This week: 2.9 hours 35 miles or so far this week 12.6 MPH average.
Of note I upgraded my kit to more water bottles which really seems to help with long rides. On the down side this is so much worse than my "prime" of 70-80 miles a week at 15-17 MPH.

Ooof. This vocal cord medialization is taking the wind out of my sails. Or lungs. Plus my shoes broke. Oh well!

Had to keep the HR down lately as an awkward side effect of vocal cord medialization. Sure that'll correct. Off to Indy next week, though.
