No arguing with my legs on today’s bike ride. The temperature warmed up from 38 degrees when I woke up around 6 AM to 70 when I started biking at 12:39 PM. Sun was plentiful and the wind light. With the later start I rode a route similar to last Thursday going south through Atascocita and Walden. I added some streets to increase the mileage to 27.11 from Thursday’s 21.44. I finished at 2:50 PM. I rode my Cervelo Caledonia bike to use each of my three bikes over the last 3 rides. This will probably be my last ride of 2023 because of Christmas and New Year commitments. December was a good month surpassing my 200 road mile goal with 269.3 miles and 169.3 Zwift miles. For the year I surpassed all my previous year totals riding 8533 road miles and 1314 Zwift miles for a total of 9847.

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Michael Passman looks over the intersection at North Lamar Lamar Boulevard and St Johns Avenue.
It’s a busy December morning as cyclists and pedestrians cross. The intersection is marked with a crosswalk and green-backed chevron which the City of Austin explained is used when bicycles and pedestrians share the same path.
Passman — who rides more than 100 miles a week — is familiar with the markings.
In mid-October, Passman said he was riding his bicycle westbound on St Johns and had stopped at the intersection. He said when the …

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.
Rain or shine, almost 2,000 East Texas children and 500 seniors were served Friday morning at the Salvation Army Tyler Christmas Distribution Center as families came to pick up gifts.
A line of vehicles circled the community center, where rows of bicycles and gifts lessened as families arrived for pickup throughout the day. Organized chaos is how Captain Michelle Walker describes it.
“It’s kind of fast and furious. It’s a well-oiled machine,” Walker said. “It’s joyous.”

Ride of Lack…Lacking reserve in the tank and lacking a leader, eh Mauricio Palomino (but thanks for the route)…a bit windy but fun, certainly bright enough…could have used the pace police and instead became the group’s anchor…refreshed with a cup of cheesy potato at Lindemann’s…fun to be out here again and drained well after prolonged rain yesterday
