Another trip to the post office on today&#8217;s ride but I did not have to stand in line. When I pulled out of the driveway there some rain drops falling but they did not last long as I headed into the woods and the greenbelt trails. Whenever I came out of the woods I could feel a few drops and at point there were some big drops but they didn&#8217;t last long. I rode <strong>15.68 miles<\/strong> at an average speed of 11.8 mph and a max speed of 19.9 mph. This is around my normal speed on my Motobecane 700HT MTB. The clouds were dark as the approaching cold front brings a change in the weather. The temperature was 76 degrees and the wind was similar to yesterday at 8 mph from the south-southeast with 17 mph gusts. As I finished the ride the rain drops picked up and thunder started. I may not be able to ride tomorrow with the cold front moving in.<\/p>\n<p>One observation from riding my mountain bike is that a saddle that is comfortable on my road bike is not necessarily comfortable on my mountain bike. I might need to look for a Koobi PRS Century saddle on ebay.<\/p>\n<p>November miles are up to <strong>136.11<\/strong> and year to date miles are <strong>5119.61<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<div
