This might be a foolish exercise but I’ll ask anyway. I trained this winter with my tri bike on my trainer. I have not had my Tri bike out yet as our roads are still covered in sand and ice in spots. I did take my mountain bike out this weekend for my first outdoor ride.
I covered 50 km in 2 hrs. (I do the sport for fun and to keep fit…no threat to the podium here).
With the same effort (HR) how would this equate had I been on my tri bike. The mountain bike position is far from earo and the tires offer more resistence.
The reason I ask is that I believe I’m in better shape than normal for this time of year but have always made the first ride on road bike.
I’m thinking I would have been over 30km/hr. Any thoughts?
