The weather in Houston was warm as the weatherman predicted. With mostly cloudy skies I was able to log 68 miles with a few rain sprinkles. Wind was a problem today pointing out how much fitness I have lost over the last couple of months.

Riding my mountain bike on bike trails and a few windtrainer sessions do not maintain fitness like riding on the road.

Road construction in my area makes riding a challenge at times.

I am starting to look at the ride calendar for this year and make some early plans on which ones to ride. One in particular is the Jalapen 100  in Harlingen  February  17th.  It has been several  years since I have ridden this one but I look forward to a warm ride in the Valley.

With the weekend miles I am at 86 for the year. This is well on the way to eclipsing the 97 for January 2007.
