Ride Notes for September 22nd, 2014

22 September 2014 • by Bob • Bicycling

I normally ride 10 miles on Mondays and Wednesdays, and I don't bother to write a journal entry for those days because they're mostly uninteresting rides. (The backstory is that on Mondays and Wednesdays I am taking an Advanced Networking class at the University of Arizona, and I bicycle for part of my commute and I take the bus for rest. So it's predominantly city riding through traffic and nothing to speak of.)

But that being said, today's ride was a little different in one import aspect - it was the last official day of Summer, and I knew that I was within a few miles of reaching the 1,000-mile point for the season. With that in mind, after I finished all of my commute riding, I switched into shorts and a t-shirt and I road a quick 7.7-miles along the Rillito River Park to put my mileage over the top.

As a result, I have concluded my Summer Riding Season with the following statistics:

  • Total Miles: 1,004 miles
  • Total Calories: 47,999 (my OCD friends will have a hard time with that)
  • Total Time: 72.6 hours
  • Average Speed: 15.2 mph
  • Average Heart Rate: 147 bpm

I think that was rather a productive Summer. ;-]
