I dusted off a neglected route for today’s bike ride. The last time I biked it was May 8th, 2018. Wheels down and rolling at 10:59 AM on my Canyon Endurace CF SLX bike. The route: “Eagle Springs – Walden – Huffman”. The video points out the difference between this route and the others going to the south and east. I rode 38.86 miles before finishing at 2:00 PM. Not long after the finish the thunder started with some rain. Good timing for a change.

Some different gear on the May 8th ride: Catlike helmet, PowerPod power meter, Wahoo Elemnt bike computer, and Sidi Genius Fit Mega shoes. See the image below for today’s gear.

With those miles my week moved to 157.32 miles and June passed 100 to 108.67 miles. Now if the rain lets me I have 3 days to get to 200+ miles for the week. I’m 14% of the way to my 800 mile goal for June. Not too bad after 3 days. The Canyon Endurace odometer hit 22, 301 miles.

Weather conditions: start 79 (75% humidity, 70.7 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind calm; finish 84 (67% humidity, 72.3 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind calm. The humidity being close to the temperature meant muggy biking. It was unusual for the wind to be so calm. The normal high for June 3rd is 89.6 degrees.

No different Strava segments on this route from my usual bike ride to Huffman.

A comparison of some previous rides on today’s route. I didn’t use a power meter for the rides without the purple bar on the right. The average speed today is lower than the others.
