A few degrees warmer at the start of today’s bike ride. Choosing the “Atascocita – Walden – Huffman” route I biked 33.63 miles. The weather: start 67 (41% humidity), finish 72 (36% humidity), few clouds, wind calm.

Started the bike ride earlier today leaving at 12:38 pm and finished earlier at 3:04 pm.

I made a decision to dress lighter today thinking the abundant sun and light wind would allow me that luxury. Riding wardrobe: shorts, long sleeve thermal jersey, short sleeve jersey and windbreaker jacket. Missing from yesterday’s ride: leg warmers and full finger gloves. The first few miles were chilly but once my body warmed up I didn’t notice the missing items.

One other cyclist was out in Atascocita Shores. He was dressed about the same as I was.

Numerous school age children were enjoying the spring break weather.

Nothing out of the ordinary along the route. The Canyon Endurace CF SLX continues to impress me riding smoothly. The disc brakes stop quickly without the carbon rim squeal. I will be watching the Continental 4000 II tires to see how they hold up compared to the Continental GatorSkin tires I normally ride. The road debris can take a toll on tires.

More great biking weather in Wednesday’s forecast but I would prefer the temperature to be in the 80’s.
