Just Enough Watts to Light One Bulb Bike Ride
Another fabulous bike ride day in southeast Texas. When I started the ride the temperature was 91 degrees at my home weather station but it went down to 88 by the time I finished riding the “Atascocita – Walden – Huffman” route for 32.15 miles. This put me at 106.19 miles for the month. The wind was tough today from the south at 15 mph with gusts up to 24 mph. I watched the watts on the Elemnt and they looked strong but at the end of the bike ride time spent in zone 2 was lower than yesterday. I moved the PowerPod to a different position on the handlebar and maybe this played a part. When I moved it I couldn’t push the start button so I loosened the attachment screw to push the button and then started pedaling. After a few pedal strokes the watts appeared on the Elemnt’s screen.
I passed another biker on Fairlake Drive going the opposite direction just before the 18 mile point in the bike ride. We waved and said hi.
No rest stop today. I was pressed for time. I am trying the Walmart Grocery order online option and my window to pick up my order was 5 to 6 PM.
The weather is supposed to change tomorrow morning with a cool front arriving and the high might only reach 75 degrees. I plan on bicycling but I may need to wear two jerseys.
