you seem in good shape for your age
yuor HR is high COMPARED to the 'average'
that average is a load of average
changed avg HR per ride is very common also
/ heva a couple of realllllly black coffees before you ride and find
out
since you know your HR from childhood you're ok
you know the HR of Armtrong ? now there is a mutant turtle
it's where you are in the bellcurve of genetics
the 'cardio' machine stickers in the gym are therefore something to
completely ignore when you know you own natural HR,
for this off course you have to observe and compare you HR for a
longer period
