The weather turned warmer just like the forecast said it would so I grabbed my Lynskey R300 bike and went for a bike ride. Wheels down at 11:27 AM. The ride followed my “New Caney – Tavola – Valley Ranch” route covering 37.38 miles. I am behind on the pace I need to reach my 300 mile goal for January but today’s mile narrowed the gap to 18 miles, 112 miles so far versus 130 miles to be on pace. If the weather forecast holds for Friday (tomorrow) I should get ahead. But Saturday a cold front arrives and I will be Zwifting again. The cold will hang around through Monday.

So far I have rode each day of January, 4 days on the road and 9 days using Zwift.

The weather conditions for today’s bike ride: start 65 (humidity 56%, dew point 48), a few clouds, wind W 7 mph; finish 70 (humidity 41%, dew point 45), a few clouds, wind variable 5 mph. I dressed warmly with shorts, leg warmers, a long sleeve thermal jersey, and a windbreaker jacket. It was cool for the first miles but the sun warmed me up. I probably could’ve substituted a regular long sleeve jersey and been comfortable once I warmed up.

I saw another cyclist at the beginning of the ride but he went another direction when I turned onto a side street.
