Just got a message from a friend....wondering about his heart rate on his bike ride that he just did today.
Spent most of the bike ride at Hr 155-160 bpm
Rode 38 miles
Climbed 1000 feet
Ride time was 2h 27m
Average mph 15.6
Lives in Eastern Washington

He weighs 291 lbs!! 6'2" height

He has been riding his bike for years now. Lots and lots of sustained, long rides.

Just trying so hard now to lose weight.


I also like to ride road bikes. I am at 225 lbs. I would also like to lose weight.....get in the 190s.
If I get over 16 mph average, I feel pretty good. Over 17, and I feel like a pro 🙂

So I totally admire my good friend!!
