Blue Sky Arrives, Light Wind Prevails, Smooth Bike Ride
I managed to start the bike ride at 10:41 AM which was important since I have a mid-afternoon appointment. To go along with that I chose the “Atascocita – Walden – Huffman” route biking 32.12 miles. I rode the Canyon Endurace CF SLX bike 16,952 miles since I started riding it in February of 2018.
Today’s weather was a big improvement from yesterday. The overcast sky gave way to partly cloudy with nice patches of blue and a light NE wind. I wore shorts and my GCN short sleeve jersey. Weather while I biked: start 85 (75% humidity, 75.9 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind NE 6 mph. Finish 89 (62% humidity, 74.2 dew point), partly cloudy, wind NE 6 mph. The wind held steady all the way to my 1:03 PM finish.
Lately the GoPro Hero 7 Black video required extra work because some of the clips recorded upside down. I searched online and found a potential solution by locking the screen in the “down” direction. Today’s video recorded all of the clips in the correct orientation eliminating the extra work. I ordered a frame for the GoPro from Amazon that includes a holder for the mic adapter after my ugly solutions failed.
Below is a summary of the 19 rides year to date for today’s route broken down by the bike. Nifty chart from the Golden Cheetah program..
