Warm Weather Waited For Me to Recover

Texbiker.net Posted on by

Back on the bike since my last road ride on December 17th. I rode Zwift 2 days and then got sick. I missed a bunch of warm days to ride on. Today I rode the Kingwood streets on my Lynskey R300 bike to get my legs turning the pedals. I began at 10:12 and finished at 11:36 AM riding 16.54 miles. The warm weather allowed me to dress like it was summer with shorts, arm sleeves and a short sleeve jersey.

As 2021 winds down I am at 9,389 miles for the year. As of today I am 95 miles ahead of 2020. I’ve met my road miles goal for December but with all of the warm weather and sickness I probably will fall short of my virtual goal of 800 miles for the year with 751.5 miles.

Warm and windy describes today. Weather conditions: start 75 (humidity 80%, dew point 69), mostly cloudy, wind S 10 mph; finish 78 (humidity 73%, dew point 68), mostly cloudy, wind SW 12 mph gusts 21 mph. Warm weather probably will be here until Saturday.

Walnut – Concrete Trail Segment Construction thread

By cmc4130 | austinmountainbiking.com

December 17 update from City of Austin Public Works. (During my meeting with them and the contractor in November, they said they were going to try allow for a crossing point around the #230 point, but now it seems to have shifted to "this whole corridor is closed until late spring" and they shifted the Alternate Route over to Root Drop. I have requested a meeting about it.
