Closing In – July 28th Bike Ride
I planned on riding to the south but not quite as far as normal. When I looked at the weather radar there were some rain clouds in that direction to the south of Atascocita. Then I thought about riding to the north but that is the direction I wanted to go tomorrow. So I gambled and rode south. I did not encounter any rain but in Walden some streets were damp, probably from rain 30 minutes before I got there. It was 86 degrees (68% humidity) when I started at 11:34 and 91 degrees (57% humidity) at 1:03 when I got back home.
My goal is reach to 900 miles for July. With 4 possible riding days left and only 100 miles to go I thought biking a shorter distance would setup the other days with 30 miles a day to get to 900. Today’s route ended up at 22.41 miles at 15.4 mph average speed. July miles total 821.58 and this week I biked 226.15 miles. I biked 4147 miles year to date. This means I only need to ride 79 miles to reach my goal.
Good biking weather tomorrow: 93 degrees and partly cloudy.
