Exceeded My June Goal And More Despite Rain
A weather turnaround for today’s bike ride compared to yesterday. I rode out at 11:01 AM on my Canyon Endurace CF SLX bike. Choosing my “New Caney – Tavola – Valley Ranch” route I headed north. I wanted to ride at least 19 miles for June 2021 to equal June 2020 miles and succeeded biking 35.26 miles. June 2021 total miles is 919.08, the highest month since July 2020.
I biked 25 days and averaged 36.76 miles per ride. The longest ride was June 12th at the Mesquite Rodeo Road ride. My goal was 800 miles. Year to date I biked 4,760 miles (road and Zwift combined). At the halfway point if I ride that many miles the rest of the year it will total 9,520, about 200 miles more than 2020. But weather can change that. How 2021 YTD miles compares to previous years. Except for 2020 this year’s miles is the best compared to years 2011 through 2019. I retired in July 2011 and I increased my biking activity.
Today’s weather was much drier than yesterday’s rain delayed bike ride. Temperatures have not been up to the normal highs lately because of the rain. Weather conditions for the bike ride: start 84 (81% humidity, 78 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind E 8 mph; finish 88 (59% humidity, 71.5 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind NE 8 mph.
The route I biked today shows some frequency with 9 times. Both bikes have been used but the Canyon the most.
