I live in South Florida and there is really only one safe road to cycle on...A1A. Ironically, it runs parallel to my paddling spots on the beach or intracoastal. There are no hills here and the terrain is almost flat. >> Health and fatigue certainly will cause day-to-day variation, but I'll bet that wind and subtle variations in terrain are the big factors here. >> No, when I first got the heart rate monitor I was interested in seeing improvements in fitness eliminating the other variables as much as possible. The weather this time of year is almost identical on a day to day basis, especially in the evening after work. We have prevailing winds. My average speed is around 18.5 +- .2 mph for a 15 mile circuit with a couple of lights and slow downs. The problem here is trying to neutralize the current and wind factors in the kayak. I used cycling because it the roads don't move relative to the cycle. cya *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
