Mid-Spring Mileage: Progressing Towards a 749-Mile Goal
I rode south and east to Spanish Cove Drive but not on all of the usual streets on the Atascocita – Walden – Spanish Cove Drive route. Waiting until stage 10 of the Giro d’Italia finished pushed the start time to 11:22 AM. That was time enough for the temperature to get out of the 60’s to mid 70’s. My Canyon Endurace CF 7 bike carried me over the different streets. In Huffman the Amtrak Sunset Limited train and I arrived at the same time. I biked 36.74 miles, about average for the previous 10 bike rides this year. I am now ahead of the 25 miles per day average to reach my May goal of 749 miles with 360.7 miles (48% of the goal).
