No problem deciding which route to ride today, south and east, on Atascocita – Walden – Spanish Cove Drive. Last night I fixed the rear tire flat on the Cervelo Caledonia bike. The problem was a previous patch I made using an adhesive patch came loose. I replaced it with a glue on patch and all was well for today’s ride. When I got dressed I put on leg warmers but just before leaving the temperature improved to 67+ so I removed them. My legs need a little time to warm up but after that they felt fine. I rolled out a little earlier than yesterday at 11:35 AM. I hoped to ride a little longer distance than this route usually is to set up the potential to get to 200 road miles for the month with tomorrow’s ride. I think I did that riding 36.61 miles resulting in 165.1 miles for January. 35 miles tomorrow is doable if the weather forecast holds true.

I didn’t expect to see other cyclists during the ride. The first cyclist was on Kings Parkway. I almost missed the three others because I had my head down as they rode the opposite direction on Kings River Drive. I was riding west, they rode to the east.

You can see in the video the asphalt work on Old Atascocita Road. Nice new asphalt is always appreciated.

No Strava local legend today. I did ride the KPHS Sprint segment today which I don’t normally include in this route to give me a buffer on the ride count.
