Another fall like day awaited as I rolled out on today’s bike ride at 10:20 AM. I rode my Lynskey R300 bike on the “Community Drive – Valley Ranch – Gene Campbell Blvd” route. After biking 36.43 miles I finished at 1:20 PM. Those miles set me up for a 200 mile week and tomorrow’s ride should do it. I only need 15 miles to reach my 700 mile goal for September too. This route is new to my portfolio with this being the 3rd ride this year.

It didn’t get quite as cool overnight as yesterday but it was still in the 50’s when I got up. BY the start time it was in the mid 70’s with a light 5 mph wind. That wind seemed stronger at times especially riding NW on FM 1314 to Gene Campbell Blvd. It did move around giving me a headwind and a tailwind on the same road. My new Polar water bottle keeps the water chilled for the whole ride but it hasn’t been tested when its 90+. Weather summary: start 77 (62% humidity, 63 dew point), fair, wind var 5 mph; finish 82 (42% humidity, 56 dew point), a few clouds, wind E 9 mph. The low humidity and dew point are making it feel cooler.

I stopped at the Woodridge Forest Community Center and Pool for these photos.

I regained a local legend in Strava.
