19 mph @ 30 is now the baseline, below bad, above good. Shooting to move it to 19.5.

Same route just slower.

Notice how low the HR was, this is the problem with biking (compared to running). It's virtually impossible for me to get my HR above 80% while biking. Even on a "hard/fast" ride it never averages above 80% and on a day like today I might as well be doing leg lifts on the couch.
