It was much slower than I usually go due to a lot of wind, some “barely a path” roads along the way, the bike being a citybike meant for daily shopping, as well as the fact that I was carrying 50kg (110lbs) of luggage on my back the whole way 😄

Excuses for being a slowpoke aside, it was a good challenge for my general health and fitness journey, and a very pleasant ride 😁

      Thanks 😁

      I’ve been on the exercise bike every day (with very few exceptions, such as the day before yesterday where I did this outdoor ride in stead), so I now have quite muscular legs and a resting heart rate of 55 down from somewhere in the 80s if not 90s before I started 😁
