New Bike Stuff, Dodged Rain Clouds
So far June is off to a wet start but I managed to not get caught in the rain. Today the sky and forecast looked like rain but I dodged the rain though a few minutes after finishing the bike ride I heard light rain hitting the patio cover. It didn’t last long.
Watch the video to see some new bike stuff used on the bike ride.
The Critérium du Dauphiné stage finished early thanks to the fast pace allowing me to get a somewhat early start on the bike ride at 10:19 AM. The route headed north and then back to Kingwood finishing at 12:51 PM. I chose this route to not tempt the rain to dump on me. I call this the “Kingwood – FM1485 – Kingwood” route. At 157 miles for the week before today’s bike ride I biked 32.54 miles boosting the week to 189.86 miles. Eleven miles to reach 200 for the week. Looks possible with 2 days left but the forecast contains rain. So far in 2021 I rode this route 8 times; 5 times on my Lynskey R300 and 3 times on my Canyon Endurace.
What the weather was like: start 74 (93% humidity, 72.1 dew point), overcast, wind E 7 mph; finish 77 (84% humidity, 71.8 dew point), overcast, wind E 7 mph. Very humid thanks to all of the rain.
I rode my Lynksey R300 bike which rolled to 4,278 miles.
Thanks to the support person at Wahoo Fitness I set my new Bolt V2 power to show the one colors. You can see this in the video. Nice touch. BPM is on the left and power on the right at the bottom of the display.
