I pressed today’s bike ride with the temperature just .6 of degree above my 60 degree no ride threshold. The sun was out in full blue sky mode and the wind was only 5 mph. I bundled up in shorts, leg warmers, long sleeve thermal jersey, wind breaker jacket, and half finger gloves. At 60 degrees I normally wear full finger gloves but in order to press the record buttons on the GoPro cameras I needed exposed finger tips. Early in the ride my fingers chilled but after a few minutes it went away or I forgot about it. I waited until 12:16 PM to begin biking on my Lynskey R300 bike. Before that I thought I about riding north to FM 1485 at New Caney but with the chill I changed to biking Kingwood Streets for 20.42 miles which put me with 9 miles of reaching 800 miles for October. I plan on biking tomorrow (Saturday) to get to and beyond 800 miles.

My video editing skills with the Garmin VirB Edit program improve with each ride. I practiced the last two days when I didn’t bike because of the weather. Adding gauges, creating different gauge templates and positioning them in the video consumes a lot of time so today I used a custom template I created yesterday.

The route today contained a few places where I increased my pace. One Strava segment named “Back2Branch” I rode south on N. Lake Houston Parkway for a 3rd personal record. The details are below.
