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 😁

    Sick power to maintain for that long, well done. Did you fuel any throughout the ride?

    Thanks 🙂

    And yeah, I ate some fruit, a couple slices of rugbrød, drank an isotonic drink, and gulped a shitload of water during breaks. I run hot lol 😁

    Btw, you might benefit from increasing your cadence a bit, bumping it up to about 90 is likely going to be beneficial

    Actually, since I’m heavy but strong and the same goes for my legs, my current sweet spot is at a lower cadence of 75-80 with higher resistance heh. It’s one of the things I’m working on, though 🙂
