New GCN Jersey and Elemnt Bolt Take Me to Huffman
Great to have a bike computer again and not use my phone on today’s bike ride on the “Atascocita – Walden – Huffman” route. It began at 11:31 AM after I decided the great weather and biking was better than watching the last 20+ kilometers of the Paris Nice road race. To go with the great weather a new jersey was in order, the GCN short sleeve jersey I have had for several weeks waiting on the right bike ride to christen it. No Zwifting today, real roads.
Finding the right place to take the jersey pictures was hard. A room with a mirror generally means a bathroom which is where I ended up taking all three but in two different bathrooms.
The Wahoo Elemnt Bolt computer is smaller than the Elemnt it replaced and when I checked the outfront mount on the Canyon Endurace I was able to move it closer to the handlebar. It was a quick setup yesterday with many of the settings transferring over from the Elemnt in the Wahoo phone app. I remember how hard it was whenever I got a new Garmin computer.
Today’s weather while I rode: start 80 (70% humidity, 69.2 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind SE 5 mph. Finish 84 (61% humidity, 68.9 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind calm. No need for a long sleeve thermal jersey or jacket. Shorts, long sleeve jersey, and short sleeve jersey was the attire and I probably could’ve skipped the long sleeve jersey except I wore it more for sun protection than warmth.
I saw several other bicyclists along the route and all are in the video except for one that came around a corner unexpectedly before I could start the GoPro.
The ride ended at 2:02 PM. More great biking weather tomorrow when I will ride the Lynskey R300.
