While June winds down the week began with a 42.48 mile bike ride on the “New Caney – Roman Forest – Valley Ranch” route. The Canyon Endurace CF SLX and I began the ride at 9:58 AM. This was the 5th time biking this route in 2020, 3 times on the Canyon Endurace and 2 times on the Lynskey R300. With today’s miles my June total is up to 859.68 miles. I will try to get the total to 900 miles on tomorrow’s bike ride, the last one for June. The summary of the rides on this route.
Weather for today’s bike ride: start 85 (81% humidity, 79 dew point), overcast, wind S 13 mph gusts 18 mph. Finish 89 (75% humidity, 80.1 dew point), overcast, wind S 18 mph. The big story for today was the wind. It helped me get to Roman Forest and extracted a toll on the ride back to Kingwood. For June the temperature was mild which was okay. I finished the ride at 1:20 PM, before it reached the usual peak temperature period.
Strava reported that today’s bike ride was harder than my usual effort. I would agree due to the wind. My legs felt good as a result of the shorter easy ride yesterday. My average hear rate was 124 bps with the max at 156 bps. Power averaged 87 watts with the max at 502 watts.
Video clips worked better today with my hand hold the GoPro Hero7 Silver and the bike mount holding the Hero7 Black. Audio from the Silver wasn’t as good as the Black because the Silver doesn’t accept an external mic like the Black does. I thought about using just the Black camera with my hand but the mic adapter would dangle in the air and putting it my pocket would be hard.
