Dirt Bike Fitness Odyssey: Hendrie/Williams Ride Replay
Got together this past Friday with Stormchazer (Dave), Upriver (Rob), OrangeKoolaid (Don) and Sadlmakr (John) for a ride in Hendrie and Williams tracts, since the weather forecast was excellent for this time of year, 12C and partly sunny.
Overall stats for the ride were:
Distance: 53.01 km
Time: 3:46:42
Avg Speed: 14.0 km/h
Elevation Gain: 241 m
Calories: 2,326 C
Moving Time: 2:01:51
Avg Speed: 14.0 km/h
Avg Moving Speed: 26.1 km/h
Avg HR: 119 bpm
Max HR: 159 bpm
Here’s a Garmin Connect replay of the ride with my heartrate and speed graphs:
Ain’t technology grand?
I did notice that my iPhone lost the GPS satellite signal in a few spots….particularly in the Williams tract, while my Garmin Oregon had no such troubles. I suspect that the Oregon is more sensitive, especially in forest cover plus it’s on the handlebars in the open, while the iPhone lives in the backpack with lots of other stuff.
As a result of that, I’ll be testing pairing the heart rate monitor with the Garmin Oregon on the next ride, assuming we still have a few days of riding left before the winter snows bring our season to a close up here.
I wonder if I can import the data from the Garmin into the iCardio app…somehow I doubt it, and expect that I’ll submit that as a feature request to the DigiFit guys.
