Our goal was maintain endurance pace which has a wide band. Realizing there are riders stronger and not as strong, I tried to stay in the middle of the band. Intensity Factor is a power measurement and endurance rides for me, are .70-.79. Today, for me, was .74 IF.
Below is my HR. At this phase in the year, I rely strongly on HR as well as power. I also always pay attention to my Perceived Rate of Exertion. Later in race season, I pretty much just train on power.
The chart above is for today's ride. The ride certainly was a right down the middle of the alley and would have been a strike if we were bowling. Almost all the time was in Z1-Z3. If anything, I could have gone a little harder.
I suspect that we had people who were barely at Endurance Pace and some at Tempo....these are the zones below and above.
Whether you use, power, HR, Perceived Rate of Exertion or a combo of all. LET ME KNOW WHAT THE RIDE PACE WAS FOR YOU. YOUR FEEDBACK WILL HELP MANAGE FUTURE RIDES.
Thanks for coming....I love TEAM rides!
PS> Was there a guy out there today on a mountain bike?

The Hoodster enjoyed the ride and found it just the right amount of cruisin' and jammin'. We need more TEAM rides!
