Today’s ride put me over my average January mileage of 200 miles. The 30.54 mile route was long enough that my January totals 201.79. With 10 days left I there is the possibility that I can added more miles. With the strong wind from yesterday I averaged 15.5 mph, max speed of 22.3 mph and an average cadence of 81.4 RPM. The cadence and average speed are significantly up from yesterday.

Even though the weather did not match the forecast it was not that far off. The temperature started at 73 and ended at 71. The clouds were heavy as a front moves in slowly from the northwest via the 8.1 mph NW breeze. I wore a long sleeve jersey which was a little too chilly when I was riding into the wind but just right with the wind. Maybe another jersey over the top would have helped but it might be too warm. In a few months this won’t be a question. Apparently 5 other bikers thought the weather good enough to be out biking. I passed them spread out on the route. Tomorrow is supposed to 77 degrees so I plan on enjoying the warmth while it is here.
