Overcast sky, 16 mph SE wind and 82 degrees awaited my ride today. This allowed me to wear a short sleeve jersey and I was comfortable even with the firm wind. My route selection took me south and east into the wind until I turned north on FM2100 from Old Atascocita Road. I wasn’t the only rider out today as I saw two others.The first biker was in front of me and turned off from the street I was on so I doubt that he saw me. The other one was going the opposite direction on Old Atascocita Road.

I battled the wind until the turn on FM2100 so my average speed for the 33.78 mile ride did not move above 15 mph until I was able to recover the lost time during the last 13 miles. Average speed ended at 15.1 mph. I am making progress on the April goal and with today’s ride miles total 369.02. Today marks over halfway for April. Year to date miles: 1683.66.

The weather tomorrow should repeat today’s. I plan on riding after I watch the La Flèche Wallonne on Eurosport.

As usual Thursday’s weather brings another front with rain and cooler temperatures. It will bounce back some for Saturday and Sunday for the BP MS150 bicyclists.
