I wasn’t the only person riding today. I saw 11 bikers on Old Atascocita Road and Ramsey Road. All but 2 of them were women. This is probably the women I saw on other Tuesday rides. I saw them because I rode the Stroker Road loop in reverse. Another thing I saw was “love bugs”. The fall season for them has arrived, I guess. They appeared near the Old Atascocita Road and Ramsey Road intersection. I saw some later when I was at the Huffman Chevron too. They were not thick enough to be a nuisance yet. This was around the turf farms.<\/p>\n

Another sight was this 1959 Ford. I have thought about taking pictures before but didn’t. It is sitting in the yard and looks like it has been years since it moved. This was at the Stroker Road and Ramsey Road intersection.<\/p>\n

I rode 39.49 miles<\/strong> on the route. I did not ride the usual streets at the beginning to keep the ride a little shorter. The sky was partly cloudy, temperature 92 degrees and 7 mph SSW wind. The wind wasn’t really a problem as far as slowing me down so much. It was nice when I was sitting under the canopy at the Huffman Chevron. While I was resting there the wind helped to dry up the sweat; paper towels did too.<\/p>\n

Average speed ended up at 15.6 mph. Up to 36.9 miles I had it up to 15.8 mph. The side streets and stops slowly ate away at the speed.<\/p>\n

September miles are up to 285.85, 83.68 miles for the week and 5467 miles year to date.<\/p>\n
