I managed to start today’s bike ride at 10:42 AM inspite of a couple of problems. First the speed sensor battery got replaced and then as I walked out the back door with the Canyon Endurace CF SLX the right pedal cut my left calf when I wasn’t careful.

Other than that the weather was picture perfect again as I set out on the “Atascocita South – Walden – Huffman” route to bike 34.86 miles. My weekly total stands at 148.77 miles and June is at 381.63 miles. A 200+ mile week looks possible. So far in 2020 I bike this route 5 times, 3 on the Canyon Endurace and 2 on the Lynskey R300.

The low dew point and humidity are hanging around for today. I could feel the difference as the ride began. Sweat dried quickly and my mouth dried out as I breathed so I drank ice water from the CamelBak. I screwed the CamelBak lid on correctly today to avoid ice water down the back of my shorts. Weather during the time on the bike: start 85 (45% humifity, 61.2 dew point), fair, wind NE 8 mph. Finish 89 (38% humidity, 60.2 dew point), fair, wind NE 9 mph. The video captures the bright blue sky but doesn’t do it justice.

The perfect weather accompanied me all the way to the 1:33 PM finish and beyond.
