Today’s ride wrapped up 7 in a row. I have not done this in many years. One thing I don’t believe I have ever done is to ride over 200 miles in a week. This week I rode 220.45 miles which is amazing especially given the hot weather we have been suffering through. For today’s ride it was 92 degrees when I left home and 97 degrees when I returned. While I was riding I noticed I was drenched in perspiration and I think the combination of 41% humidity and dry breeze. The clouds were more numerous than yesterday and when the sun ducked behind one the temperature felt lower. The ride today was 24.61 miles with an average speed of 14.9 mph, max speed was 21.2 mph and average cadence was 79.0 RPM. August miles are now 220.45 and year to date miles are 3659.10. As I mentioned yesterday I will not be able to ride again until at least August 14th. So my miles for the month will slow down dramatically.
