Trouble getting the ride started today. First the GoPro camera wouldn’t turn. I switched around several batteries and it finally started working. Next I walked the Lynskey R300 bike outside to begin the ride, tried to clip into the pedals and couldn’t. Then it hit me, I had the wrong biking shoes on. Went back inside to get the correct shoes. Finally wheels rolled out the driveway at 11:58 AM. Today’s route: “New Caney – Tavola – Valley Ranch”.
Weather during the bike ride: start 75 (76% humidity, 66.9 dew point), overcast, wind SW 7 mph. Finish 79 (64% humidity, 66.0 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind S 8 mph. Not quite as warm as yesterday. I wore shorts, long sleeve jersey, and a short sleeve jersey. A few times I felt over dressed but whenever the roads took me into the wind I cooled down.
Today’s ride covered 35.11 miles putting the week’s total at 86.48 miles, 1 Zwift ride and 2 road rides. Month to date I am at 243.67 miles (165.4 miles on the road and 43.1 miles in Zwift rides). My goals for March: 660 miles (75 miles virtual and 585 miles on the road). With 20 days left that leaves 416 miles or 20.8 miles per day. Weather in March bounces around making each riding day important if I am to reach the goal. The next several days through Sunday look favorable for road biking.
