Afternoon start on today’s bike ride after church and watching portions of the Paris – Nice stage 1 bike race. The wind didn’t let up much from yesterday at the 1:55 PM start and by the time I finished at 3:25 PM it got stronger. I rode my Lynskey R300 bike around Kingwood Streets. The theme of the ride was reverse the streets. A couple of streets I’ve never rode in the opposite direction. The ride was almost all flat except for two hills that I ride down but not up. I was out of the saddle for both of them today. Along with wind it was in the upper 70’s again today under a mostly cloudy sky.

The ride distance today was 18.27 miles. This put the week’s total at 228 miles with an outside ride each day. This is the first 200 mile week in 2022. March biking miles stands at 190.37, 29% of the 650 mile goal. Today was the fourth time riding Kingwood Streets in 2022. Year to date I biked 1,234 miles. 2022 trails 2021 by 161 miles.

What the weather was like for the bike ride: start 79 (humidity 73%, dew point 69), mostly cloudy, wind S 18 mph gusts 24 mph; finish 77 (humidity 78%, dew point 70), mostly cloudy, wind S 23 mph gusts 29 mph. I wore another long sleeve performance fabric T-shirt under a short sleeve jersey. With the strong wind it felt good and I didn’t get too warm.
