For the first 16 miles of my ride roday I noticed that all I had to do is slack off on the pedalling hard and my heart rate almost immediately dropped to 109 or below which is around 58% max heart rate. Also, it didn't accelerate very much over the small climbs such as the High Street Bridge. Near the end of the 27 mile ride was anoither question - Icame to a stop at Marina Rd. and my heart rate remained at 115 for a full miunute before it started to fall just as the light turned green
Now this week on the flat route, I have averaged 12+ mph. It does appear that I am improving as my heart rate is taking more miles to get to the point where my heart rate stops responding rapidly to changes in effort.
Maybe I will be able to get back to doing real hill rides before the end of the year. Fingers crossed.
On Thu, 25 Sep 2025 19:19:40 GMT, cyclintom <cyclintom@yahoo.com>I really don't pay much attention to the actual number of present heart rate unless I'm looking for something specific 190 bpm would be max heart rate for a 30 year old so the present Garmin software must have a bug. Perhaps that is why they just updated it again. While I've assumed that I have been riding in Zone 1 I have been rinding in the high zone2 and into zone 3.

First, 109 BPM is 58% of 190 BPM, which is well above the 140 BPM
that's suggested as the max heart for us 80 year olds.
I've noticed that as I've grown older, my heart rate is not as
responsive to changes in exercise as it used to be. In other words, it
goes up slower and comes down slower. In regards for it going up
slower, I have to be careful not to push too hard until I get it up to
100 or so, or I'll get a headache and maybe a little dizziness.
I try to allow my heart rate to drop down to 90 before I get up off
the Catrike and walk around. Sometimes, after a hard ride and I've let
my HR drop ease off to 90, I'll notice that it will shoot back up to
110/120 when I stand up.

You're right. I'm busy and missed it. I was also impressed when you
blamed Garmin for failing to adjust their heart rate measurements with
your contrived bad guess.
Incidentally, a "flat ride" is a type of amusement park ride. It does
not involved bicycles:

"Flat rides are usually those that move their passengers on a plane
generally parallel to the ground, such as rides that spin around a
vertical axis, like carousels and twists; and ground-level rides such
as bumper cars."

Nicely done. However, I expected you to define "flat ride" as an
excessively low pressure tubeless tire bicycle ride.
