I was planning on this happening earlier in the month but I will take this. I was thinking the weather was going to be better than it turned out. When I started the temperature was 67 degrees and there was some sun in the sky but not long after the clouds thickened up and when I got back home the temperature was down a couple of degrees to 65. At the airport the wind was a brisk 20 mph as I began the ride but it dropped to 11.6 mph by the time I finished. With all of the clouds I never really was feeling that warm even though I was dressed just like yesterday with a long sleeve jersey, leg warmers and windbreaker. The cloud cover and wind must have made the difference.<\/p>\n<p>I encountered numerous bikers on the trails. One couple must have been on the way to the grocery on their bikes. I rode behind them for about a mile because the traffic noise drowned out my &#8220;on the left&#8221; call. The route included some dirt trail again. The trail was still muddy in places from the heavy rain we got last Monday but I found spots to avoid the mud.<\/p>\n<p>For a change all three of my GPS data calculators were in close agreement on the distance (<strong>16.42 miles<\/strong>), average speed (11.4 mph), max speed (21.3 mph) and average cadence (75.1 RPM). January and YTD mileage is now 75.65 miles. Tomorrow&#8217;s weather is stilling looking like a bike ride kind of day with 76 degrees and mostly cloudy.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"http:\/\/connect.garmin.com\/activity\/142071739\"
