Nothing exotic about today’s bike ride route but I did start earlier than any ride so far this week at 7:44 AM. I rode south and east on my Atascocita – Spanish Cove – Walden route. I needed 22 miles for a 200+ mile week and this route averages just over 34 miles. My bike choice was the Cervelo Caledonia. My July goal is the same as June, 800 miles. I wondered if I started too early to see other cyclists but I did see several, some towards the end of the ride where I don’t usually see them. I waited until I got to FM 2100 to decide on riding south to Spanish Cove Drive which I did go to. Plenty of bike racing to watch when I got back home at 10:29 AM.

Weather: Start 80 degrees, 86% humidity, dew point 75.8, mostly cloudy, wind S 6 mph; Finish 92 degrees, 59% humidity, dew point 75.3, a few clouds, wind S 7 mph. Humidity can be a problem when I start this early and my kit was soaked when I finished. Wind was light and didn’t cause too much hard pedaling.

I reclaimed the Strava Local Legend on The Library Sprint.
