    During my 34 mile ride today, my averge heart rate was 118 and I was riding along quite comfortably in the mid-120's. I am wondering what my safe max heart rate is?

    220 minus your age is consider about average so 220-65 would be 155. But
    that is only a mark it can vary a lot depending on the person. My
    research suggest as much as 20 bpm. How you feel and you breathing are probably more important even how you recover. The faster you HR returns
    to normal the better. They say the gold standard is how faster you heart
    falls in BPM 2 minutes after a very trying working out or sprinting a bit.

    If you finish a ride with a good hard push and your HR goes to 150 then
    in 2 minutes drops to 100, that is great. If you still are struggling
    and the HR is 140 then that is not good. Talk to a cardiologist
    preferably one who is a runner or cyclist or some athlete connection.

    Returning to normal has to do with the heart ratedelivering oxygen to your mucsles. So my recovery is slow. Just getting up drives my heart rate from 80 to 95 due to my lung injuries.
