The shirt sports long sleeves which few rides furnish nowadays. With the overcast skies I opted for my\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 mountain bike again so that the route would not be too far from home or shelter. It turned out I did not need them even though the temperature dropped a degree and the wind shifted slightly to the southeast from the south-southeast.<\/p>\n<p>The trails still have water over some places but not quite as deep or frequently as yesterday. I got stopped at one point by loggers cutting a tree down and blocking the trail. A quick detour got me back on the trails.<\/p>\n<p>The goal was to get the February miles up to 200 and with today&#8217;s<strong> 18.85 miles<\/strong> February miles total <strong>203.72<\/strong>. Over the years my February averaged 249 miles. YTD totals <strong>470.97 miles<\/strong>. So I need another 46 miles to get to the average. With 9 days left the opportunity exists if the weather cooperates. The weather forecast says 70&#8217;s Tuesday through Friday.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"http:\/\/connect.garmin.com\/activity\/151264687\" href=\"http:\/\/connect.garmin.com\/activity\/151264687\"
