For the first time this year I was over dressed for a ride. I was expecting the 70 degrees at the start of the ride to drop down to 60 by the time I got back but it only went to 68. The fleece jersey, full finger gloves, windbreaker jacket and leg warmers were more than enough. March weather is still acting like a lamb although Saturday’s weather could rough things up a little. I want to do the Baytown Gator Ride but not in the rain. As of now this is what the forecast looks like:<\/p>\n

Saturday<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"tstorms\"<\/a><\/td>\nMostly cloudy. A slight chance of showers early in the morning…then showers and thunderstorms likely in the morning. A chance of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. Highs in the upper 60s. North winds 5 to 10 mph in the morning increasing to 15 to 20 mph in the afternoon. Chance of rain 60 percent in the morning decreasing to 50 percent in the afternoon.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Tonight the weather was mostly cloudy skies with a SE 12 mph breeze. The ride was uneventful but challenging at times when I was going into the wind. The Motobecane 700HT gearing is pretty low so I can hit over 100 RPM but not have much speed.<\/p>\n
