A late start for today’s bike due to a commitment elsewhere. I missed the end of stage 20 of the Tour de France and the University of Cincinnati football game, plus some other non-biking technology failures. I and my Lynskey R300 began the bike ride at 3:47 PM and finished at 4:59 PM after biking on Kingwood streets 15.63 miles. This was enough miles to make it a 205.96 mile week. I lost some of the miles I was ahead on my 700 mile goal but still have a lead. Below is a summary of the week’s rides and how I stand on my monthly goal.

The weather is subject to change with a tropical storm running around in the Gulf of Mexico. I could’ve waited until to tomorrow to ride but rain is possible and that would mean not hitting 200 miles and loosing miles I am ahead for my month goal.

Wind was strong during today’s bike ride. The Kingwood trees helped a little but whenever I got out in the open it was hard riding into. Weather conditions: Weather: start 86 (51% humidity, 65.9 dew point), a few clouds, wind NE 16 mph gusts 21 mph. Finish 86 (54% humidity, 67.2 dew point), partly cloudy, wind NE 15 mph. Tropical storm warning, flash flood watch, hurricane statement. Next week might be very wet.

I received the Barfly out front adapter for my Lezyne computer allowing me to use the computer on my Lynskey bike. No problem pairing the speed, cadence, and heart rate sensors but the PowerPod refused to pair with the Lezyne computer. This meant no power reading during the bike ride or after. I posted a question on the PowerPod forum to see if I am doing something wrong.

Also I ordered a pair of foam windscreens for the GoPro cameras. Maybe these will improve the audio on my videos, particularly with the Hero 7 Silver which doesn’t connect to an external mic.
