Today’s bike ride was the third time on the Community Drive – Valley Ranch – Gene Campbell Blvd. route this year. I altered some streets from the previous rides. The changes included the first mile and a half, using Woodridge Parkway to enter Woodridge Forest, and riding to Eagle Drive rather than taking the east bound frontage road along TX 99 and circling back to the west bound frontage road to return to US59. These changes lengthened the ride a little bit above the average distance of 37 miles to 38.68 miles. This improved my daily average miles to 27.45 putting me slightly above the 27 miles I need to average per day to reach my 800 mile goal for June. Month to date is 192.16 miles.

Another bike ride on my Cervelo Caledonia starting at 9:23 AM. I decided to watch the replay of the Critérium du Dauphiné when I finished the ride. Today’s ride moved the Cervelo to 8,018 miles since I bought it. I finished the ride at 12:16 PM. I was busy shifting gears on the ride with 45 rear derailleur changes according to the AXS.SRAM.com ride report. The35x13 gears dominated the action with 1:54:52 (28.9 miles) out of the total moving time of 2:49:47.
