Even with the warm temperature I wore a thermal long sleeve jersey and a short sleeve jersey over top. I am a temperature wimp and the wind still felt chilly as I biked through it. The wind was from the SE at 10 mph which was great on the ride to Tavola but the ride back was when the chill became noticeable.<\/p>\n<p>I started the bike ride at 12:07 and finished at 2:29 under overcast skies most of the time. No other cyclists crossed my path during the ride. I am making progress to meet my 300 mile goal for the month with <strong>232.3 miles<\/strong> so far. I am thinking about riding the Bike Through the Forest and Hills &#8211; Coldspring, TX ride next Saturday. It has been several years since I rode that ride and the weather looks favorable so far.<\/p>\n<p>Link to <a href=\"https:\/\/ridewithgps.com\/trips\/12578359\"><strong>RideWithGPS.com map and metrics<\/strong><\/a>.
