The earliest start this week at 8:36 AM. The Giro d’Italia stage 20 would wait until I got back home. I shortened the usual Saturday Atascocita – Huffman – Walden route by a couple of miles skipping some streets at the beginning. I changed the GoPro mount after yesterday’s broken mount tab with no problems today. Before the ride I found a magnetic mount that might work holding the GoPro for quick release using the BarFly mount parts and ordered 3.
Riding the Cervelo Caledonia and the early start set me up to see other cyclists once I reached FM1960. Along the way I saw several yard announcements of seniors graduating. School is almost over and traffic might reflect that on bike rides. The slightly shorter ride of 32.14 miles still pushed me over 200 miles for the week (224.46 miles) and within 7 miles of May’s mileage goal of 749 miles. Strava alerted me about the Local Legend on Valley Manor to Kwood drive (3:44). Apparently skipping a few streets didn’t keep me from matching previous rides on Strava.
Weather: Start 81 degrees, humidity 88%, dew point 76.8, cloud cover 69%, wind S 7 mph; Finish 87 degrees, humidity 73%, dew point 77.3, cloud cover 55%, wind S 9 mph gusts 14 mph.
