Well the first day riding my mountain bike went off without a hitch. Riding on the greenbelt trails and along the drainage bayou is different from the road. Slowing down and being in the shade most of the time offered a contrast to my road bike ride. I still sweated a lot but when I rode in the shade it actually seemed to help cool me off even with 64% humidity.<\/p>\n

Yesterday it rained 3\/4″ and I thought the dirt would be too wet to ride along the bayou. It was in places where someone drove their 4-wheeler and stirred up the sand. Normally I avoid wet dirt but I rode in it today some. The tires got filled with loose wet sand and I got some thrown up on me. I am not use to that on the road. When I got home I hosed down the bike for tomorrow’s ride. I think I will survive the dirt.<\/p>\n

I didn’t set any speed records but the change of pace and scenery works. A few people were out on the trails walking, jogging and biking. This can present a problem when you round a curve so extra awareness must rule. The route was 15.06 miles<\/strong> at 11.4 mph average speed. I did get up to 21.5 mph as my max speed. This was going down a steep hill which is rare around here. August miles now total 137.26<\/strong> and YTD is 4072.23 miles<\/strong>. Riding time was shorter than my road trips at 1:19:03. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s ride.<\/p>\n
