After getting home from church I had a hard time deciding on riding outdoors or Zwift. As I ate a snack the temperature jumped around 65 degrees. I made up my mine after riding Zwift 5 times this week that outdoors was necessary. Getting dressed I donned shorts, a long sleeve thermal jersey and a wind jacket. I opted to not wear leg warmers which my legs argued for after the ride started at 2:23 PM. Aboard my Lynskey Helix bike I wasn’t sure which Kingwood streets would be on the route. I mix the streets up when I do that, enough that Strava didn’t find any matching rides out of the 18 previous Kingwood streets rides this year. Because of the unknown streets I guessed the ride would go 18 miles but I ended up at 20.29 miles when I finished at 4:01 PM.

Yesterday I received the battery pack/headlight from AliExpress to used with my GoPro for longer rides when the GoPro battery dies. Today’s ride wasn’t that long time wise so I didn’t test it. Maybe in January. This is what it looks like. The attached cable is neatly hidden.

The summary of this week’s bike rides shows 5 Zwift rides and 2 outdoor rides. December totals 411.5 miles. Year to date I biked 9820 miles, my best year ever.
