On Thursday evening I mounted my 28″ wheel again on my recumbent with a heavy obligation tire. I needed to attempt that set-up out off-road. Yesterday I took it to Coyote Valley Open Area, Northeast of Morgan Hill, and it labored out high-quality, though I have to admit an upright bike with fats tires is best suited to this. I then headed up north in the direction of San Jose on Santa Teresa boulevard. I used to be shocked how briskly the bike felt, theoretically it ought to be barely much less aerodynamic than my arrange with two 20″ wheels, though that may be 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 battle by means of to get house. So this become a fairly robust exercise, with a median coronary heart fee of 118. However I made it house okay. Surprisingly, my common velocity was 12.6 mph which is a bit larger than I’ve been doing these days. So I suppose 28/20 actually is quicker. Posted on Strava right here.
