I rode the “Atascocita South – Walden – Huffman” route today for a little variety. Left at 12:13 pm and finished at 2:47 pm. This route was 34.58 miles long.

The weather: start 77 (79% humidity), overcast, wind S 7 mph, gusts 18 mph. Finish 81 (71% humidity), mostly cloudy, wind S 11 mph, gusts 18 mph. Wind is a fact of life this time in March. My legs sure get a workout trying to pedal into the headwind. I can tell when the route gets behind a windbreak. The hardest spots are out in the open without anything to disrupt the wind like riding across Lake Houston on FM 1960. My wardrobe: shorts, long and short sleeve jerseys. The strong wind influenced the long sleeve jersey choice in case the wind was chilly.

No other cyclists along the route but I did see a couple of cars pass me with bikes on racks so maybe they rode somewhere else and drove back home.

Some mileage stats: 209.6 miles this week, 712.36 miles March to date, 1546.67 miles year to date. It is reasonable to reach 800+ miles in March. Last March I biked 676 .83 miles so I am ahead of that now. Over the last four weeks 3 have totaled 200+ miles. After the tough February weather March has been more bike ride friendly.

Sunday weather should be a repeat of today. I plan on biking but less miles.

Yesterday I sold my Stradalli Red Pro 14 bike. With the Canyon Endurace CF SLX my main bike since it arrive 2/26/18 it was time to let some else enjoy the Stradalli. Craigslist.org lead 3 people to express interest in the Stradalli.
