My last bike ride took place on Thursday January 26th. Since then I did not bike because of some minor surgery on my right calf. The doctor said to not bike for a few days today ended the few days. So back on the bike but I backed off of the mountain bike gears so I would not pound the stitches. As I biked several phrases came to mind playing off the stitches angle but I will spare you from those. Since I lowered the gearing by one rear cog I did not exert my right leg as much and I chose a relatively flat route (as if we have hills in Kingwood) to not add to the drama.

Weather wise the temperature stood at 69 at the beginning and 68 at the end. The sun made an attempt to shine through the clouds but towards the end of the ride it kinda gave up. Wind held stead at 12 mph from the southeast, not too big a deal amongst the trees. The loggers almost disappeared from the trails except for one spot. No chainsaws but the chippers ground away.

Ride stats:

• 17.49 miles
• 11.3 mph average speed
• 16.7 mph max speed
• 78.1 RPM average cadence
• January miles 267.25
