Tantalizing sunshine with a 65 degree temperature pulled me out to ride but the 13 mph north wind chilled me even though I tried to dress for it. I put on a windbreaker which seemed to have holes in it with the wind coming in. My long sleeve jersey over the short sleeve one helped some once I got heated from the exercise but whenever the sun went behind one of the many clouds the chill came on strong. I wore half finger gloves but there times when full finger ones were needed. As long as I was going with the wind I felt warmer but turning into the wind brought the wind chill up. My road bike allowed for more speed than my mountain bike did yesterday and I figured I needed to get some road miles in.<\/p>\n

My original plan called for a 24 to 25 mile ride but once the wind chill became apparent I modified this to the 21.73 mile<\/strong> route I ended up with. My average speed stayed above 15 mph until the last 5 miles when I rode mainly into the 13 mph wind. So I ended with 14.8 mph average speed and 22.5 mph max speed. Average cadence ended at 79.7 RPM just .1 RPM below yesterday. February miles: 112.45, YTD miles 379.70. The weather is supposed to be cooler the next two days so I may not get out on the bike.<\/p>\n
