When the wind isn’t blowing 30 mph you can – June 1st Bike Ride

Texbiker.net Posted on by

When the wind isn’t blowing 30 mph you can… I had originally written the post to describe my evening ride adventure with the lower speed wind and my ability to now smell the various fragrances along the ride but WordPress draft save mode decided to delete what I wrote. So this is a much shorter version.

Today’s ride was 28.45 miles bringing the year to date miles up to 2206.16. My average speed was 15.0 which is more than I thought it would be. The 92 degree temperature, 40% humidity and 8 mph wind held the heat up there. Clear skies were nice to have to extend the daylight even more than the expect 8:17 sunset. June is off to a good start.
