No Crowd Spring Creek Greenway Bike Ride
I was thinking about where to ride today when my phone notification showed photos from July 1st, 2019. Looking they were when I rode the Spring Creek Greenway so I decided to ride there today.
It was a late start after watching stage 6 of the Tour de France and then changing the batteries in the speed and cadence sensors. I rolled away on my Canyon Endurace at 11:04 AM. I would finish at 2:33 PM. A summary of the previous rides on the greenway this year.
The July goal calls for 800 miles. these 43.79 miles is a good start. Strava recorded 3 medals from the ride. There wasn’t many people on the greenway. I don’t know if my late start or being Thursday was the reason. There were some bikers as you can see in the video.
Biking the greenway when it is hot reduces the heat some with all of the shade. Weather conditions for today’s bike ride: start 86 (66% humidity, 73.8 dew point), partly cloudy, wind calm; finish 87 (60% humidity, 71.8 dew point), partly cloudy, wind NE 5 mph.
I took these photos when I took a short rest break at John Pundt Park on the way back to the I-69/US59 trailhead. On the way back through Jesse Jones Park I saw two people getting ready to ride their 3 wheel low recumbent bikes. I passed another one twice on the greenway as you can see in the video.
