On Thursday night time I mounted my 28″ wheel again on my recumbent with a heavy responsibility tire. I needed to strive that set-up out off-road. Yesterday I took it to Coyote Valley Open Area, Northeast of Morgan Hill, and it labored out effective, though I have to admit an upright bike with fats tires is best fitted to this. I then headed up north in the direction of San Jose on Santa Teresa boulevard. I used to be stunned how briskly the bike felt, theoretically it needs to be barely much less aerodynamic than my arrange with two 20″ wheels, though that is perhaps offset as a result of the 28″ rear wheel has a bit much less rolling resistance. After about 90 minutes I rotated, and located a had a extreme headwind to struggle by means of to get dwelling. So this became a fairly powerful exercise, with a mean coronary heart charge of 118. However I made it dwelling okay. Surprisingly, my common pace was 12.6 mph which is a bit increased than I’ve been doing these days. So I suppose 28/20 actually is quicker.
