Apple Watch not tracking activity

I have the series 6 Apple Watch I bought it in December and my activity ring never closes when I use my outdoor cycle. I bike anywhere from 10-20km at a time and it might move 1 min. My heart rate is averaging 120-140 beats per minute I’m working HARD and it never closes it’s extremely frustrating. Is this a defect w my watch?

Apple Watch Series 6, watchOS 7
