I am no Iron Man contestant, but I stay in as good shape as possible. Resting heartrate was in the upper 40's the last time I checked, but might be in the low 50's since I haven't gotten out as much as I would have liked during the winter. Yeah I planned on doing 10-15 miles on weekdays and on the weekend maybe go for a nice 30-40 mile ride. I am leaning towards the double, after doing some research it seems like the better fit for me. If I ever get to some nice hills, I guess I will just have to crank away.
