They Almost Got Me – July 6th Bike Ride

Texbiker.net Posted on by

The raindrops almost caught me near the end of the ride this evening. As I turned around to head back home I notice a darker cloud over where I was headed. The hope was it would move on or be further away than it looked. The temperature had warmed up to 90 degrees for most of the ride and when I first started the clouds were spread out nicely. But that changed as the sun moved down. Wind was 13 mph from the SE. Overall it was a good ride even though a few large raindrops were falling as I pulled into the driveway. Tomorrow the weatherman thinks there is a 70% chance of rain.

Watching stage 3 of the Tour de France was exciting. The cobblestones played a significant part in the stage results. Not enough hours to watch every move. Thank goodness for the DVR.

Today’s ride statistics:

  • miles = 24.07
  • ride time = 1:36:19
  • average pace = 4:00 min/mile
  • average speed = 15.0 mph

  • max cadence = 105 rpm
  • climb 189 ft., descend 194 ft., max elevation 88 ft.
