June 26th ride

Nice evening for a ride, I thought I would take an easy ride for the fun of it. I felt very powerful this trip, I was pushing up hills up to 4mph faster then usual. Not sure what was going on, perhaps yesterdays trip somehow boosted my strength. I found I could do some good bursts to push me up hills and even got up to 30mph on a flat, non-hilly road with no wind. Back in the day in my late twenties I could get my road bike up to 30 mph on a flat road, I think this is a first for me on a recumbent.

The first 15 mile loop had an average speed slightly over 21 mph. I practiced doing speed bursts for the rest of the ride, I even rode up to 26 mph up a short incline.
