As August winds down the temperature has not followed suit. It is supposed to over 100 degrees again today but maybe tomorrow will bring a lower temperature. Today’s ride was a little late starting at 9:55 AM. I should started an hour earlier but some chores got in the way. Once I was on the road I did see one other biker at the 14.7 mile mark. Clear skies and a light 5 mph south breeze accompanied the rising temperature. It was 87 when I started and 97 when I finished. Sweat rolls off of every part of my body. Humidity remains low for our area at 42% when I finished.

At first I was not riding for an average speed of 15 or more but as I got into th ride I decided to pick up the speed and ended with an average speed of 15.1 mph (SportTracks version) or 15.2 mph (Garmin Connect version). The route was a little longer at 28.15 miles from yesterday. My max speed was 22.5 mph and the average cadence was 80.3 RPM, the same as yesterday. August miles are now 618.15 and year to date miles are 4056.80.
