Fixie Commute On National Bike to Work Day

I had a couple different meetings today outside of the office, so I jumped on my fixie and pedaled around town to get where I was going. The good news is, there was no way I was above zone 2, the bad news is, I probably wasn’t even in Zone 1… I’m determining that it’s hard to get to the Zone 2 training I’m supposed to be doing when I ride on the streets of Seattle. Traffic: cars or pedestrians just don’t allow me enough room to get up to an appropriate level of effort.

I did have a couple of short steep hills to power up… and on the way home, the streets were filled with cyclists… that was nice to see. All in all, it was an ejoyable ride, even if it wasn’t a workout.
