After two days not riding I wanted to get back on the road today. I chose the Stroker Road – Huffman route with a couple of tweaks on the route. I added to the starting streets and then on the return leg I did not stay on W. Lake Houston Parkway like the last I rode this route on 8\/31\/2012. Then the route distance was 37.55 while today’s route totaled 39.12 miles<\/strong>. In August I averaged 15.2 mph but today I upped that to 15.8 mph (15.9 mph on Garmin Connect<\/strong><\/a> and RideWithGPS.com<\/strong><\/a>). My top speed today was 20.7 mph at 80.5 RPM average cadence. The 5.8 mph north breeze did hinder my speed much in any direction but I could tell when it was at my back.<\/p>\n

Yesterday’s cool front chased out the heat so when I left the house at 12:08 PM I could tell the difference even though my home weather station reported 78 degrees. I wore a short sleeve jersey which kept me comfortable but when I rode in the shade and into the wind I felt coolness. By the time I finished the ride at 3:01 PM overcast sky allowed the temperature to get up to 84 degrees. I did not notice much evidence of the little rain we got yesterday so puddles were not a problem. October miles now total 388.22<\/strong> and YTD miles now total 5685.07<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
