After watching the final stage of the Tirreno-Adriatico time trial I didn’t wait too long to start today’s bike ride. I stuck with my original route riding the “Atascocita South – Walden – Huffman” one. I incorporated the longer beginning and biking 35.68 miles. This put me 67% of the way to my 600 mile goal for March. I wore two new items on the ride: a long sleeve blue Voler jersey with And 1 socks. The jersey doesn’t show in the video because of my windbreaker jacket.

I like the And 1 socks because of the fabric blend and thickness. In cool weather my feet stay warm and dry.

Starting Friday the 19th FM 2100 at the railroad crossing in Huffman will be closed for track work. This will mess traffic up as people try to get around the work. I will not ride my usual route on Saturday to that area. Thursday will probably be my last ride there until next week.

Today wasn’t that cool even with the overcast sky. Wind was light thankfully. Several times during the bike ride I encountered light mist but not for long. Weather during the bike ride: start 69 (98% humidity, 68.8 dew point), fog/overcast, wind calm; finish 74 (91% humidity, 71.3 dew point), fog/mist, wind SE 8 mph. The ride started at 11:17 AM and finished at 2:01 PM. The jacket came in handy when I was in the mist and brief light rain near the end of the bike ride.

This was a 2 camera bike ride. I used the Drift Ghost XL for the first half and then switched to the GoPro Hero 7 Black. I made some adjustments to the Drift camera to soften the audio and the video. The audio is not as scratchy and the video accommodates the lower light from the overcast sky. I’m still searching for a better way to attach the mic to the Drift camera. I tried a 3M Command strip today but the mic came loose. I will use the Velcro strip until I come up with a better idea.
