Classic Cars, No Leg Warmers Required
Today’s bike ride wrapped up my November biking. I waited until 11: 44 AM to start so that I could skip the leg warmers and long sleeve thermal jersey. It warmed up to 68 by then though it was a little chilly until I generate some extra body heat. The went south and east on what I call “Atascocita – Walden – Huffman” route. My Lynskey R300 carried me for 34.26 miles which boosted my November road miles to 312.4 miles. This fell short of my 360 mile goal. If I had braved the chilly weather last Friday and Saturday I probably would have reached my goal. Instead on those 2 days I rode Zwift for the first time since spring. Adding the Zwift miles plus some miles I rode on a Bowflex C6 exercise bike while I was in New York City November totaled 393 miles.
The weather warmed up a little from yesterday but the clouds were more prevalent. Weather conditions: start 68 (humidity 73%, dew point 59), partly cloudy, wind SE 6 mph; finish 71 (humidity 63%, dew point 58), partly cloudy, wind variable 5 mph. It may be slightly warmer tomorrow.
Construction on FM 2100 continues. In the video there is a clip at FM 2100 and Old Atascocita Road. The railroad crossing at FM 1960 added some asphalt but I still had to walk from the unopened south bound lanes to the north bound lanes to access FM 1960.
