Second ride post catastrophe. Three miles this time (increased from 2.6), 282 feet of vertical (instead of 80 something), 73 watts (increased from 59) and 20 minutes (increased from 17.) Did not use turbo, about 55% motor off completely.
I can now walk three miles in a day (in three or four separate walks) and swim about a quarter mile. So measurable improvement over eight days. I've also gained back 10 of the 20 pounds I lost.
SO glad I got Nightmare! 36 pounds, but feels like 46 in my current condition! I can still barely get it out of the garage, but at least I didn't have to TAKE A NAP this week after doing that!
And 55nm of torque vs. 40nm is a huge difference, at least the way the Bosch is set up. A lot of work, yes, but did not feel like I was pushing past 70% of my current capacity. I have to really be careful because my wrists and arms are weak, too; I can still go over potholes or cracks in the pavement, I just have to make absolutely sure I am positioned correctly for them. I can't muscle my way out of a mistake the way I might have previously.
Good girl, Nightmare! (She's a little bored, but really glad to be getting out of the house again.)
