I recently picked up a simple heart rate monitor and used it today for the first time. My heart rate was at a constant 160-170 the entire ride. In the last few miles I sprinted to see how high I could push it. It hit 232 and lingered in the upper 220s until I let off. This was really surprising to me so I wanted to see how accurate you guys think this might be. I didn't even think it was possible to get that high. It measures my resting heart rate correctly at 50-60. This is the heart rate monitor I used New Balance Watches N2 Heart Rate Monitor from Backcountry.com
If it helps I'm 21 years old, 6ft tall, and weigh 135 lbs and have only been riding since March of this year. It wasn't until recently that I've started to ride 20-30 miles every day and one 50-60 mile ride a week.
