I was “mistified” on the ride today. When I rode out of my driveway I thought the moisture from the high humidity. As I rode to US59 the mist appeared and disappeared. Once I got on the northbound US59 service road I went in and out of some pockets of mist. Once I rode onto FM1485 the moisture let up enough I could not feel it. All was well until the FM1314 leg. Riding on this road was a wet one. The mist picked up and after I stopped at the Valero station at Sorters Road there was a 200 yard stretch of outright rain.<\/p>\n
Normally I do not ride in the rain but if it starts while I ride I sometimes continue if the it is not too hard and cold. Those conditions describe today. The mist was not cold and wiping my glasses allowed me to go awhile before i needed to do it again. Approaching cars had their wipers running and my moving increased the rain collecting. My long sleeve jersey kept me warm and somewhat dry. I was glad when I got back home and the dry garage. The 75 degrees felt warmer than I expected.<\/p>\n
I rode 35.03 miles<\/strong> at 15.0 mph average speed. I wanted to get to 400 miles for April and this ride added up to 404.06 miles<\/strong>. 1718.7 miles<\/strong> year to date look good.
