Early Start, Bikers Up, 200+ Mile Week, New Smart Watch
I managed to start today’s bike ride at 8:32 AM. Before it got hotter and hopefully early enough to see some other bikers. Last Saturday I biked in Mesquite. This week I am back to riding my “Atascocita – FM 2100 – Walden” route on my Canyon Endurace bike. I finished at 11:03 AM. Sometimes I don’t start biking that early.
A summary of my bike rides on this route in 2021. 10 times and today was the earliest start time and most distance, but not by much.
I always enjoy seeing other bikers out and today I saw many. I missed some too. either they were hidden by cars or I didn’t spot them early enough to record on my GoPro. I need to improve my quick draw move.
Weather for the bike ride: start 82 (79% humidity, 74.4 dew point), a few clouds, wind calm; finish 89 (63% humidity, 74.7 dew point), a few clouds, wind NE 4 mph. The humidity was high enough for my body to produce lots of sweat. Whenever I stopped a steady stream of drops hit my bike or the pavement.
I reached 200+ miles for the week. That’s 4 weeks in a row. June mileage is up to 629.53, getting closer to my 800 mile goal. 2021 versus 2020 YD miles difference stands at 140 behind 2020. Hopefully not biking tomorrow won’t increase that by too much. Last June I rode 902.84 miles. I averaged 30.09 miles per day in 2020. This year I am averaging 33.13 miles per day.
Wearing my new Samsung Galaxy Active 2 smart watch during the bike ride. I switched my phone to use Samsung’s Message app and a couple popped up on the watch as well as emails from the Samsung Email app too.
