The goal was to ride at least 17 miles to make another 20+ week. I started the bike ride at 2:09 PM and chose “Kingwood Streets” as the route. I mixed up the street order for variety and added a section of greenbelt trails around 18 miles into the bike ride. The wind was almost as feisty as yesterday at 16 mph from the east. By the time I finished at 3:47 PM it settled down to 10 mph from the SE. I rode 20.52 miles setting the week’s total at 203.98 miles from a mixture of Zwift and road biking; 3 Zwift rides and 4 road rides. Two weeks in a row of 200+ miles. That is difficult this time of the year with the weather jumping around. A summary is further down in the post.
I was going to ride a different route but as I drove home from church US59 traffic backed up from Tonwsen Drive to the north and the frontage roads too. A collision between a motorcycle and a stalled car was the cause. The route I was thinking of riding crossed through those roads.
What the weather was like: start 68 (27% humidity, 32.6 dew point), a few clouds, wind E 16 mph; finish 68 (25% humidity, 31.3 dew point), a few clouds, wind SE 10 mph. I skipped leg warmers but wore shorts, a long sleeve thermal jersey, and a windbreaker jacket. When I rode into the wind it had a chill to it on my legs but the rest of me felt okay.
I noticed my Lynskey R300 bike hit 3,330 miles with this ride.
