Making Up Some Miles, Cooler, Biked To Indian Shores Road
Back on the bike today after not riding yesterday. The temperature was cooler thanks to some rain last evening and clouds this morning. Checking my SportTracks workout list the Atascocita – Walden – Indian Shores Road route came up. The last time I rode it was May 16th (I said May 21st in the video but that was wrong). Biking it today would be the 5th time overall. The average distance looks to be around 40 miles which would help make up for not riding yesterday. Pushing away at 9:16 AM on my Cervelo Caledonia bike the route goes south and east on familiar streets. The route is a different combination of roads I ride that became available when the construction on FM 2100 finished earlier this year. FM 2100 has a nice wide concrete shoulder from FM 1960 to Crosby. The wind was light and the temperature only reached 82 degrees when I finished at 12:24 PM. It took about 20 miles to get my overall average speed to 13 mph but I held it there until the end. The GoPro wouldn’t record when I got to Atascocita Shores Drive on the way back. I wanted to record the work in the middle of FM 1960. Overall weather: Start 73 degrees, 96% humidity, dew point 72.3, fog, wind NE 6 mph; Finish 82 degrees, 74% humidity, dew point 73.4, a few clouds, wind E 7 mph. I rode 40.21 miles today. September miles: 767.
