1x Gravel Ride

A quiet week. One ride — a 55 km gravel loop in Langford with 247 m of climbing, taking just over two and a half hours. Average heart rate of 134 bpm, max 155. Solid aerobic work but just a single session.

Last week had four rides across three different disciplines — mountain bike, downhill, and a big drop in volume from the week before that. This week stripped it back to one gravel ride, the kind of steady effort that keeps the base without the variety. Distance is comparable to the quieter weeks earlier in the season, but the intensity was there — 1423 calories burned in a single outing.
