Handlebars and Polar SX625 watch... Some good exercise!

travel. I wear the heart rate monitor when I ride, it also has a
sensor mounted to my bike that tells me my speed, distance, altitude
and a host of other very useful information. I connect it to a
Windows machine that I have installed in Parallels on my Macbook Air.
That way I can monitor how long I train for, what distances I'm
riding, ensure that I ride within my chosen heart rate zones to build
strength and work out my heart.
Exercise is good for you! I am trying to get ready for my 9th Argus
(in March 2009). I ride the Argus in the morning and fly out to the
UK that evening to do some teaching for a week... SO, I want to be as
fit as possible! Yesterday I did 50 km ride in the wind (it felt like
100kms!) From our home near Erinvale in Somerset West, past the Lord
Charles Hotel out towards Blackheath, turned right onto Winery road
(nice hills past 96 Winery Road), left onto the R44 to Stellenbosch,
out to Stellenbosch, turn around and head back to Somerset West, up to
Steynsrust bridge, left over Irene Ave, past Parel Valley and home!
More 'otium sanctum'... feels great!
