The temperature wimp that I am today’s bike ride almost didn’t happen. Around 5 AM it rained about an inch as a front passed through. The temperature dropped below 60 and stayed there for several hours. An overcast sky started to break up around 11:30 AM prompting me to think a bike ride was possible. I waited a little long trying to decide if I would ride. When I went outside to bring the recycle bin back to the garage I saw more sun and felt warmed by the sun. Back inside I got things together and dressed for the ride.

I rode my Canyon Endurace on today’s bike ride starting at 12:25 PM and finishing at 2:05 PM. This was the second ride on my new BiSaddle. I am getting use to the BiSaddle’s shape and it is more comfortable than the Fabric saddle it replaced. After yesterday’s ride I move the saddle about 1/4″ forward to put my sit bones back slightly.

I consider a ride official after biking at least 10 miles. Today’s ride was official with 21.33 miles boosting this week’s miles to 50.17 miles and November to 630.32 miles.

That weather that almost convinced me not to ride improved as the ride progressed. The NW wind increased but only by 2 mph. What it was like at the start 68 (68% humidity, 56.8 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind NW 10 mph; finish 71 (51% humidity, 51.9 dew point), a few clouds, wind NW 12 mph. I made a decision to not wear leg warmers because I thought it would warm up enough to keep my legs comfortable. After 10 minutes my legs warmed up and I didn’t think about them any longer. I wore shorts, a long sleeve thermal jersey, and a windbreaker jacket. I was comfortable and because the jacket was super thin I didn’t sweat as much.

The jacket didn’t have any side pockets to put my GoPro Silver in so I hung it around my neck with the lanyard. It swung around some until I put it inside my jacket.

For some reason 5 video clips recorded in the HEVC format which my editing program couldn’t import. I searched around for a converter program and found one. I think I caused the problem when I switched the Hero 7 silver camera’s video resolution. A message popped up on the screen and I clicked okay not thinking of the problem it would create.

Not much in the power readings since this was a fast casual bike ride. Golden Cheetah overview, followed by Strava and SportTracks.
