The last bike ride outdoors happened on December 15th. The weather warmed up to the mid 60’s today and I took to the road again cancelling my Zwift ride at 12:03 PM. I chose the “Kingwood-Community Drive-Valley Ranch” route and riding 26.24 miles. December now totals 223.3 miles on the road and 184 miles Zwifting. YTD I am at 8,077 miles, the most I ever biked in a year.

I dressed for chilly weather wearing shorts, leg warmers, heavy thermal long sleeve jersey, and a jacket. Weather while I biked: start 65 (51% humidity, 46.9 dew point), a few clouds, wind N 6 mph. Finish 69 (42% humidity, 45.0 dew point), a few clouds, wind NW 7 mph. The wind chill made it seem colder than the 69 degrees. The rest of the week’s weather may be in the 70’s during the day allowing for biking outdoors except for Christmas.
