I thought I fixed the Garmin 510 after yesterday’s problems but after rolling out the driveway I saw the cadence sensor was not working. Pulling over I went to setup and enabled the sensor function and pressed the search icon. A beep sounded and the sensors began recording. I am not sure how the sensor function got turned off. Fortunately this was within 75 feet of leaving the driveway. Now with the Garmin backup I set off on the route to Huffman. I had two goals on this ride: get to Huffman in time to see the Amtrak train going to New Orleans and get back home before any rain. Sad to say I failed on both of these.<\/p>\n
Either the Amtrak train beat me there or I did not take long enough at the Huffman Chevron for the train to pass. As far as the rain goes when I got south of Kingwood Drive on the way to Atascocita a light mist started. The mist stayed with me until I returned from Huffman crossing backover Kingwood Drive. When I stopped in Huffman I wiped the water from my sunglasses (not really needed for the sun but they kept my glasses dry) and helmet before heading back home. I put on sunscreen before biking and I should have made it water repellent. The temperature was 75 when I started (12:02) and 74 when I finished (2:31). At the beginning wind was from the south at 12 mph with 20 mph gusts. At the conclusion of the ride the gusts disappeared. I am glad I selected a long sleeve jersey to keep somewhat dry and warm. This is the first wet ride for the Stradalli RP-14 Carbon bike. I was wanting to delay that for a while. A quick wipe down when I got home got the bike dry and clean.<\/p>\n
The route for today’s ride resembled the one I used on the evening rides before I retired during CDT. Then I tried to bike 25 miles but today I altered the beginning streets and pushed the length to 29.21 miles<\/strong>. Average speed was 15.6 mph. After 3 days April now shows 95.05 miles<\/strong>. The totals 134.37 miles<\/strong> and year to date is 1355 miles<\/strong>. I need 683 miles<\/strong> to reach my April goal of 778 miles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Tomorrow’s weather will be a little cooler with a high of 72, partly cloudy sky and no rain. A front is supposed to pass through tonight some time.<\/p>\n Links to Garmin Connect<\/strong><\/a> and RideWithGPS<\/strong><\/a> maps and metrics.<\/p>\n [wppa type=”slide” album=”299″ size=”auto”][\/wppa]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I thought I fixed the Garmin 510 after yesterday’s problems but after rolling out the driveway I saw the cadence sensor was not working.
