Crazy. I hit 160 heartrate easy on the flats. I would be 180 on a climb. Hell, I am 180 on little risers. I'm talking 100 feet of elevation.

probably 190 or so.

On a training ride the other day it was 185. But I don't know that I would call that all-out max fall-of-your-bike effort. So I figure there are a few more beats there.

Yesterday it said 211, but I think that was a malfunction of my HR monitor. It also said I was going at 23 at one point.

That is a hiogh percentage. I think that would wipe me out pretty fast, but you are young.

I rarely get above 160 or 165. OF course I rarely climb at more than single digit speeds.

Going up a short but steep grade at 20mph really gets my heart going. I think it is above 10%.

If I were to have been a professional cyclist, I think my body would be most inclined towards being a Fast Freddy Rodriguez.
