Indoor Bike Trainer Ride
It’s been awhile since I’ve been on the bike, either outdoors (see MotionBased log) or indoors (my last bike trainer ride was on Feb. 28–sigh.)
I wanted to make this at least 10 miles but it’d been too long off the bike and the kiddo had passed out in an uncomfortable position in her bouncer, so I bailed off the trainer at 8.15 miles. The only goal I did achieve was biking at least 20 minutes to get some cardio benefit.
From the tiny print:
3/12/08 ~~ Distance 8.15 mil. ~~ Elapsed Time (Min:Sec) 23:12 ~~ Avg. Speed 21.1 mph ~~ Max. Speed 27.2 mph ~~ Calories 635 calories ~~ Avg. Heart 156 bpm ~~ Max. Heart Rate 166 bpm ~~ Avg. Cadence 64 rpm
I wish I could upload these indoor training rides to MotionBased.com, and Garmin’s dangled the carrot that we’ll be able to once the cutover to Garmin Connect occurs, but we shall see.
And since I haven’t mentioned it, no, I’ve had no weight loss since starting this but I haven’t stuck with it reliably and I haven’t successfully cut back on my Dr Pepper intake.

BTW, I suspect the speed data is wonky. A more reasonable, real world (when I’m riding on the road) average is 13 mph, so I find it hard to believe I’m averaging 21.1 mph on the trainer. Granted, that’s without drag (wind) and friction (roadway), without having to balance the bike, etc. I trust the cadence sensor rpm data, but something seems wonky about the speed.
