It Shouldn’t Be This Cool, Its Still Fall. Thermal Jersey Required.
Today I was back outside to ride after riding Zwift yesterday. This morning when I woke up it was 43 degrees. It hasn’t been this cold since spring time. With the help of the sun it warmed up enough for me to start biking at 11:56 AM. To combat the chill I wore a long sleeve thermal jersey under a short sleeve jersey. My legs weren’t happy until about 15 minutes into the ride when the body heat offset the coolness. Fortunately the strong wind from yesterday left and a light breeze was all I had to pedal into. Nothing out of the ordinary for most of the ride until Atascocita Shores Drive on the way back. A crew was sawing the concrete, probably for traffic light sensors. It was noisy but not too messy. This was the 17th bike ride on the Atascocita – Walden – Huffman route in 2023. Today I rode my Cervelo Caledonia bike for 34.89 miles finishing at 2:33 PM.
