I needed 5 miles to reach my March road mile goal of 680 miles. Today’s bike route accomplished that with 37.18 miles and March now totals 712 road miles and 842.67 miles adding in Zwift riding. This is the most miles for a month since last October. Starting at 11:52 AM riding my Cervelo Caledonia bike I chose the Atascocita – Walden – Spanish Cove Drive route. I made a couple of changes continuing north on Woodland Hills Drive riding through Woodridge Forest to cross over Northpark Drive. This gave me the opportunity to set a Strava 2nd fastest time on Soaring Woods to Northpark (1:50) on Woodridge Parkway. Later on the way back to Kingwood at Rebawood Drive I turned left connecting with Sunny Shores Drive back to Atascocita Shores Drive. This route usually averages around 36 miles and the changes added a mile. The weather was a big improvement from yesterday with sun, warmer temperature, and a light 6 mph wind. I was able to get my overall average speed up to 14.2 mph on the way back to Kingwood. Link to my AXS.SRAM.com ride report. I finished at 2:37 PM.

Weather: Start 69 degrees, humidity 58%, dew point 53.5, fair, wind S 6 mph; Finish 73 degrees, humidity 48%, dew point 52.3, a few clouds, wind E 5 mph.
