XTrain- RBM 36 mile bike ride


Thankfully, my RunOn! Fit For Distance class has room in the schedule for cross training- like bike riding! On Saturday, I did a 36 mile ride with the Richardson Bike Mart (RBM) crew. The weather was beautiful, of course it was hot and slightly windy, but that is too be expected in Texas for May. 

36 Miler Results (5 Mile Splits) 
Mile 5: 15.81 mph
Mile 10: 17.16 mph
Mile 15: 19.80 mph
Mile 20: 16.95 mph
Mile 25: 15.02 mph
Mile 30: 13.68 mph
Mile 35: 14.61 mph

Overall ride average: 15.85 mph, with a total ride time of 2 hrs and 15 minutes. My bike speedometer said 16.3 mph, which reads straight from my bike, rather than from a GPS. I'm not sure which is more accurate. Either way, I'm pleased with my average speed!
