The Day After Our Rain – October 10th Bike Ride
Saturday bike wash = Sunday rain. Is there a correlation? I wish that was the case but I think not. This rain was on good day since I was not able to ride anyway. Today the rain has moved on with some clouds remaining and a lower temperature range for the ride. Talk about about a tight temperature range: start 79 degrees (78% humidity) and finish 80 degrees (68% humidity). The clouds were scattered with a light 4 mph northwest breeze. With these lower temperatures it was pleasant riding but not perspiration free.
My Saturday flat appears to be fixed with no air lost since the fix. I noticed when I fixed the flat on Saturday how dirty my bike was so that moved me to do a thorough bike wash. I got out the work stand, removed the wheels and scrubbed every nook and cranny. I even washed each spoke individually.
As you can see from the data below today was 28.97 miles long. My average speed was 15.2 mph with the max speed at 21.6 mph. Average cadence was 80.7 RPM. October miles are now 239.11 and year to date miles are 4480.05.
