I waited today for the Fedex truck to delivery my new bike. It arrived about 12:15 so I was free to get out and ride. At 1:00 I rolled out the driveway headed to the south. With daylight savings time and 72 degrees I figured today would be great to ride a little further than I have lately. The ride was through Atascocita, Eagle Springs and Walden before crossing Lake Houston to Huffman. I rode past the spot where I had my car collision last September. This time school is out for spring break and no traffic was moving around Atascocita High School. That was a reason why did not mind riding there. Since then I pay extra attention to cars pulling out from side streets.

The weather was sunny under partly cloudy sky. The temperature was 72 at the start and 78 when I returned home at 3:56. While I was stopped at the Huffman Chevron I looked at the weather on my phone. I saw a wind advisory starting Wednesday 7:00AM to 7:00PM with a cold front moving through. This could mean no biking tomorrow.

This ride was 35.98 miles long and I averaged 15.4 mph. I saw one other bicyclist and waved at him but did not get a response. Later I saw a couple of trail bicyclists out on their mountain bikes.

March miles: 200.59. 69.6 miles this week. 905 miles year to date. 305 miles left to reach my March goal.
