One More Bike Ride Before the Cold Hits Again
The weather held up for today’s ride. I was able to leave earlier (11:21) than yesterday. It was 78 at the start and 82 at the end. This won’t last long with the next cold front supposed to arrive around sunset today. I rode the Atascocita – Walden – Huffman route but added the miles I left off yesterday’s ride coming in at 32.66 miles averaging 15.0 mph. Riding across Lake Houston on FM1960 did not seem so chilly today. Maybe two days of high 70’s warmed the water some.
It felt great to be riding even though the wind wanted to slow me down. It was from the south at 10 mph but the gusts were 24 mph when I left home dropping down to 18 mph by the time I got home at 1:44. I didn’t see any other bikers today. I made a brief stop at the Huffman Chevron to eat a trail mix bar and refill my water bottle for the ride home. Surprisingly my legs were not real tired from the day before. I hope to get some conditioning back but with the cold front it looks like no more riding until Monday or Tuesday.
March miles jumped up to 61.99, the same as the week’s total. Year to date I am at 497 miles.
