Finally, Three Rides in a Row

Texbiker.net Posted on by

After a slow start riding this year I was able to get three  days of rides. Although the miles were not long enough I did manage to get the year to date total above 200. Saturday’s gusty winds were tough but the temperature was mild. Sunday the wind died down but the temperature was in the 50’s. Tonight the sky was overcast but the 65 degree temperature was just enough.

A sign that it may harder to bike from home this year: construction on US59 had portions of the south bound service road closed on Saturday. This caused an unplanned route change on the return leg. I may be driving to some of my weekend ride starting points to get outside of the construction zone.
