Unicycle Ride Log Entry 7 – April 22, 2008 – afternoon
Ride: Earth day ride! Ride from work back to home. The path: Corbin’s house to work.
Time: 5:10pm to 6:57
Riding Time: 1:52’58(cycle computer), little less than 2 hours total by my watch.
Distance: 20.84 miles
Average Speed: 11.0 mph
Max Speed: 22.0 mph (holy crap)
ODO: 630.0 miles
Notes: 150mm crank holes. Geared nimbus 36 with KH hub. As I anticipated, the ride back was slower, but not twice as long. I rode along Sunnyvale-Saratoga Rd in 1:1.5, only shifting at stop lights. It was definitely tougher than the ride to work, as it is slightly uphill. After an hour, I was at the reservoir, and had to face the hills. It took me another hour to get up the hills, which was mostly in 1:1 the whole time. By the top of Mt Charlie Rd, my legs were getting tired! The higher gear definitely wears your legs out, especially after a 40 mile ride at a fast pace.
