Cycling Before the Heat: A 36-Mile Journey on the Cervelo Caledonia
Rolled out at 9:25 AM on my Cervelo Caledonia bike. As I got ready I went over possible routes and settled on the Community Drive – Cumberland – Oakhurst one. I wanted to ride 36+ miles so I changed the streets some from the previous ride on May 15th. I only rode a short distance into The Highlands on Cumberland Blvd. and made the u-turn back to FM1314. The temperature was not quite 90 and I wanted to finish before the heat got serious. The wind stayed in the single digits and the humidity wasn’t too high. Today’s 36.27 miles is the highest since I first rode the route in July 2022. I’m building a cushion of miles towards my July goal of 930 miles with 106.6 versus 3 days of the average of 30 miles per day. I may need those since I’m not sure if I will ride on July 4th. I finished at 12:17 PM.
