Threat of Rain But No Follow Through, April 14th Bike Ride

Texbiker.net Posted on by

Unlike Saturday when the weatherman said no rain and it rained, today there was slight chance of rain (30%) and I saw some on the radar at times in my area but none appeared. I was able to get home on the evening commute at a respectable time to go riding. Partly cloudy, 75 degrees and a nice breeze at 16 mph from the SE.

Today’s ride statistics:

  • miles = 22.84
  • riding time = 1:31:13
  • average pace = 4:00 min/mile
  • average speed = 15.0 mph
  • max speed = 20.3 mph
  • average cadence = 79.7 rpm
  • max cadence = 105. rpm
  • climb 246 ft., descend 147 ft.
  • April miles 265.13
  • YTD miles 1151.88
