Not This Cool Since April Bike Ride
First bike ride in November was cooler than I prefer. When I got up this morning my home weather station showed 44 degrees, way below my tolerance level. So I waited for the sun to come up and warm up the day. At 11:56 am I rolled out on the bike ride. Weather during the bike ride: start 65 (57% humidity), fair, wind 4 mph. Finish 69 (44% humidity), a few clouds, wind W 8 mph. The clear blue sky beckoned and I followed on the “Atascocita – Walden – Huffman” route for a distance of 31.31 miles. I dressed to offset the coolness with shorts, leg warmers, thermal long sleeve jersey, wind breaker jacket, and full finger gloves. This kept me warm but the wind still had a bite to it.
With the cooler weather this month and daylight savings time ending Sunday biking will be more of a challenge. Thankfully my mileage goal for November is lower at 360 miles.
No rest stop during the ride and no other cyclists crossed my route. I finished the ride at 2:20 pm.
Saturday’s weather will be slightly warmer. I plan on riding.
