I try to spend time above 16mph, especially on those rides where I am trying to make myself stronger. I consider myself an un-racer, but I will admit to racing against my former self. Maybe that makes me an un-un-racer, I don’t know. Of course, Grant would point out that blowing off aerodynamics would allow me to get stronger just the same, I’d just be covering fewer kms. True enough, but, to your point, my bikes are set up in a way that when I get on them I feel like riding and I still feel like riding in a wide range of wind and road conditions. Actually, I’m pretty sure Grant would say a bike is a terrible gym and shouldn’t be used for exercise, especially to make yourself stronger. It’s a POV I understand, and it’s why I try to do 3 sessions of resistance/weight work a week. But I feel my physical best when I’m on one of my bikes riding around 16-18mph.
