Almost Went Zwifting But Bike Ride to Community Drive Won Out
Preparing to go Zwifting I checked the temperature outside and changed my mind. Due to a late start I chose a short route: “Kingwood-Community Drive-Valley Ranch”. I biked 26.49 miles which put the week total at 126.46 miles and January at 388.62 miles. My goals for January: 300 miles on the road and 100 miles virtual riding on Zwift. Currently the mileage breaks down to 226.7 miles on the road and 162 miles on Zwift.
I was going to ride the Tour de Zwift Stage 2 race until the weather improved enough to ride outside. Weather while I biked: start 69 (90% humidity, 65.6 dew point), overcast, wind SE 9 mph. Finish 70 (86% humidity, 65.6 dew point), overcast, wind SE 15 mph. To offset the chill today I wore shorts, leg warmers, long sleeve thermal jersey and a jacket. Sunday the weather turns cold again and I will ride the Tour de Zwift Stage 2 race then.
During the bike ride I looked at my GoPro and saw it moving around. I checked and found the new dual mount that I installed last week broke at the junction in the center. Apparently plastic is not strong enough to handle the bumps and vibration of biking. I found an aluminum one on Amazon which should be stronger. In the meantime I will try Gorilla glue.
Saturday weather looks to repeat today. Hopefully it gets above 60 quicker than today. Some sun would be nice too.
