I'm currently riding about 12 miles in about 50 minutes., and 15 miles in
about 1 hour 10 minute, and my HR averages about 80-83% of my maximum HR,
and I get (and stay for two hills) within 5% of my maximum HR multiple
times during my ride. My ride is mainly hills. Perhaps you mean on flat
ground you don't get aerobic benefits until 13 mph?
