Warm Fall Bike Ride on Spring Creek Greenway
The timing was right for me to ride the Spring Creek Greenway today. It helped that the weather was great too. At 10:54 AM I rolled out the driveway on my Lynskey R300 bike to begin the bike ride. I rode 44.49 miles getting my week off to a good start towards 200 miles. I hope the weather cooperates. Apparently I favor my Lynskey R300 to ride the greenway. Out of the 9 times this year 7 have been on it with the other 2 on my Canyon Endurace bike.
Shooting video during the ride I created several “blooper” clips plus the GoPro errors required more editing than usual.
Weather conditions: start 83 (78% humidity, 75.5 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind W 12 mph. Finish 89 (63% humidity, 74.9 dew point), partly cloudy, wind W 9 mph. Getting to the US59 trailhead it was hot but once I was on the greenway the combination of wind and shade made for a comfortable bike ride.
Traffic on the greenway seemed light. A few walkers and maybe a dozen unique bicyclists passed me, some more than once. I thought there might be more since it is Columbus Day. At the 14.2 mile point from the US59 trailhead the greenway was closed for pipeline construction. I wasn’t going to ride to that point but I was curious after seeing several signs warning of the closure.
Today’s bike ride added enough miles towards my 615 mile goal to push me past the halfway point.
Strava recorded 4 personal records of various levels. I didn’t look at the segments in advance to target anything of them. Maybe next time I will think of that.
My PowerPod recorded today’s bike ride efforts.
Other cyclists created numerous segments getting to and on the greenway as shown in my Strava bike ride summary.
