Cycling Heart Rate Zones
Can cycling too long harm me if I’m a newbie?
I want to attempt a 62 mile bike ride that will likey take me about 6 hours to complete. Sounds very slow to an avid biker but I’m a newbie and that’s the pace which keeps my heart rate in target zone. The farthest I’ve riden before has been a little over 20 miles. Can it be dangerous to attempt a ride like this at my skill level?
If you’re healthy it won’t be dangerous at all. Also, if you have some riding under your belt you’ll have a much better chance at making the metric century – good luck to you and just take your time. Get an early start – that way you won’t finish late.
