Mixing Up The Route Streets
Another bike ride to the south to avoid the traffic mess in Porter. I will try that direction tomorrow to see if the signal work has went away. I decided to switch some of the streets in my Atascocita – Walden – Spanish Cove route for a little variety and to add a couple of miles to the ride. Most of the different streets were in the early part of the ride, ones I ride on other routes, just not this one. I did add a new street in Kings River from Water Point Trail to Pinehurst Trail Drive. The 11:41 AM start time was later than I wanted but I waited for the temperature to go up a couple of degrees. The weather was about the same as yesterday with a little less wind. I finished the ride at 2:32 PM riding 37.12 miles. This pushed the week total to 145.19 miles. I’m 49% of the way to my 700 mile goal for April. Also my Cervelo Caledonia needs 75 miles to reach 7,000 miles since I bought it last year. The typical ride on this route is about 35 miles so the different streets added 2 miles.
My sit bones were tender from yesterday’s ride on my Lynskey Helix bike with the BiSaddle. I moved the Velo saddle about 1cm forward on the Cervelo before today’s bike ride.
Link to the AXS.SRAM.com ride report. I rode in the 35×13 gears for the majority of the ride: 1:38:01 (24 miles). I usually shifted to the 35×15 at traffic lights and then back to 35×13 once I got going.
Weather: Start 75 degrees, 55% humidity, dew point 57, a few clouds, wind calm; finish 77 degrees, 47% humidity, dew point 55, partly cloudy, wind variable 5 mph. I wore shorts, a long sleeve jersey and a wind jacket.
