When I walked out of the house this evening to the garage to go on my ride it was like I had been hit with a wet blanket. After all of these months without rain the last two days we have had rain. Today was .41″ of rain so th humidity is moving back up to normal for here. The temperature was in the 90’s and the humidity was not too far below that. I normally do not ride on Friday’s but I didn’t ride yesterday because I wanted to watch stage 18 of the Tour de France with the HC mountains. this stag might decide who was going to win and the broadcast amount of time was long. So I decided to ride today. I was struggling some when I was going to the south and I was wondering how strong the wind was. When I got home I found out the wind was 17.3 mph from the southeast. This explains at least partially why my average speed was only 14.4 mph. I did manage a max speed of 21.5 mph during the 25.02 mile ride though. Average cadence was 77.9 RPM, somewhat low. July miles are up to 436.95 and year to date I have ridden 3276.03 miles. This week is at 74.02 miles.
