Before starting today’s bike ride I made one of my favorite dishes, fruit salad. This a mixture of fresh fruit, nuts, coconut, dried fruit, and canned Mandarin oranges. I made it this morning so it will have all day to chill in the refrigerator and marinate. Looking forward to eating some at dinner. After completing that I got ready to ride. The ride on the Canyon Endurace began at 10:26 AM heading north on my “Kingwood – SH 242 – Kingwood” route. After biking 37.54 miles I finished the ride at 1:22 PM. My week totals 120.98 miles and June is up to 564.16 miles. With those miles I crossed the 4,000 road mile mark year to date. Today marks the 6th time using this route in 2020, all on the Canyon Endurace bike.

Weather continues bike ride friendly with a beautiful sky, light wind, and hot temperatures, which I like. With all of the sun I wore arm sleeves rather than sunscreen on my arms. I never stop during a ride to put on sunscreen but today I did from a small tube. Watch the video to see a great looking sky. What the conditions were like during the bike ride: start 87 (66% humidity, 74.1 dew point), a few clouds, wind S 5 mph. Finish 94 (47% humidity, 70.6 dew point), partly cloudy, wind S 7 mph.

My one day experiment with the Akason camera ended. I returned it to Amazon. The GoPro Hero7 Black may freeze at random times but the video and audio quality were vastly better. I want to take off the bike video during a ride but haven’t figured out an easy way using the GoPro. I am leaning to using my Pixel 3XL phone because I can get it quickly versus the GoPro.

I took these photos after entering Tavola at Via Principale Parkway and Gran Roble Drive. (click on the image to enalrge it)

I learned about a feature in SportTracks on Twitter today. It will show where I paused during a ride and how long.
