No Rain This Time Biking To Huffman
I had several household chores before today’s bike ride so I didn’t get rolling until 9:36 AM. I decided to ride the route I got rained on Tuesday since the weather looked favorable today. I switched from my Cervelo Caledonia to my Lynskey Helix today thinking that might keep the rain away. No rain on today’s bike ride but I don’t think switching bikes had anything to do with that. The weather was actually pretty nice for the first day of September. The route today was my “Atascocita – Walden – Huffman” one for the 23rd time this year. No other route gets this much usage. I biked 35.17 miles today which is a little above the average distance. With a new month I have a new goal of 720 miles and this is a good start. I need to average 24 miles a day to reach that goal. I saw one other cyclist on Fairlake Lane at the “S” curve but I missed getting him on video.
Weather conditions: start 84 (humidity 78%, dew point 77), a few clouds, wind N 4 mph; finish 90 (humidity 67%, dew point 78), partly cloudy, wind NE 5 mph.
Link to AXS.SRAM ride report. I finished the ride at 12:25 PM. Used the 35×13 gears 1:39:13, and the 35×15 gears for 35:30. Just 19 RD shifts.
