The timing was right for me to ride the Spring Creek Greenway today. It helped that the weather was great too. At 10:54 AM I rolled out the driveway on my Lynskey R300 bike to begin the bike ride. I rode 44.49 miles getting my week off to a good start towards 200 miles. I hope the weather cooperates. Apparently I favor my Lynskey R300 to ride the greenway. Out of the 9 times this year 7 have been on it with the other 2 on my Canyon Endurace bike.
Shooting video during the ride I created several “blooper” clips plus the GoPro errors required more editing than usual.
Weather conditions: start 83 (78% humidity, 75.5 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind W 12 mph. Finish 89 (63% humidity, 74.9 dew point), partly cloudy, wind W 9 mph. Getting to the US59 trailhead it was hot but once I was on the greenway the combination of wind and shade made for a comfortable bike ride.
Traffic on the greenway seemed light. A few walkers and maybe a dozen unique bicyclists passed me, some more than once. I thought there might be more since it is Columbus Day. At the 14.2 mile point from the US59 trailhead the greenway was closed for pipeline construction. I wasn’t going to ride to that point but I was curious after seeing several signs warning of the closure.
Today’s bike ride added enough miles towards my 615 mile goal to push me past the halfway point.
Strava recorded 4 personal records of various levels. I didn’t look at the segments in advance to target anything of them. Maybe next time I will think of that.
My PowerPod recorded today’s bike ride efforts.
Other cyclists created numerous segments getting to and on the greenway as shown in my Strava bike ride summary.
