I should have started today’s bike ride sooner than 1:26 pm. I was watching the Vuelta a San Juan which I thought would finish around 12:30 pm according to cyclingfans.com. Instead the live stream started showing the distance to the finish at 64K so I decided to get ready and go for ride.

With the late start I chose the “Atascocita South – Walden – Kingwood” route for a total of 25.95 miles. With the shorter distance I finished at 3:27 pm. I did see one other cyclist and our paths crossed twice in Kingwood. He wasn’t dressed as I was. It was 64 degrees at the start (clear sky, 5 mph wind) so I bundled up with shorts, leg warmers, long sleeve thermal jersey, windbreaker jacket and full finger gloves. He didn’t have leg warmers. I was glad I wore the gloves because the wind had a stout chill to it when riding into it.

I have now biked 109.6 miles on the road this year. Not as much as I planned but more than I thought with the cold weather we have had. I am a wimp when it comes to the temperature. My cutoff is 60 degrees but I still probably over dress when it is in the 60’s. I am ready for 85 degrees.

The replacement Wahoo speed sensor arrived in the mail today. I will get it setup on the Blue Norcross AL bike.

No biking on Thursday but I hope to be on the road on Friday if it warms up.
