No self quarantine for me. After church today the bike ride began at 11:59 AM and finished at 2:11 PM. Along the route plants bloomed, people walked and other rode their bikes. I chose the “Oakhurst – Valley Ranch” route for variety and biked 27.41 miles. The variety comes from riding the opposite direction on many of the streets I ride each week. The bike: Lynskey R300 Titanium road bike. I am still adjusting to the different gearing from the Canyon Endurace. After warming up and exiting Kingwood I changed to the big ring on the cranks and the middle gear on the rear cassette. With this combination my speed ranged from 16 to 17 mph. My average speed improved once I made this switch.
With the weather staying warm shorts and short sleeve jersey was my attire today. During the bike ride: start 77 (82% humidity, 71.6 dew point), overcast, wind E 6 mph. Finish 82 (68% humidity, 70.1 dew point), overcast, wind E 7 mph. It looks the warm weather will hang around until the weekend.
This is the first week of 200+ miles this year. The last time I biked 200+ miles in a week was October 7th to the 13th, 2019. The week’s summary. One day Zwifting and the rest on the road.
