I skipped the last two days because it was cooler than I like but today it warmed up to 71 degrees but the wind was stiff from the WSW at 10 mph and 17 mph gusts. The sky was a clear blue. At the beginning of the ride I rode west along Northpark Drive on the greenbelt trail. The east bound lanes are about 8 feet away and the traffic created more wind turbulence making fast riding difficult. This made me grateful for the clothes I selected: leg warmers over my shorts, long and short sleeve jerseys and a wind breaker jacket.\u00c2\u00a0 Once I was amongst the trees on the trails the wind was not such a problem and it was cooler except when I rode into an opening with sun.<\/p>\n

The activity profile on my Garmin 510 still needs tweaking: I forgot to set the lap distance. I set the lap time to 5 miles which I thought set it. More adjustments. I now have a MTB activity profile to go with my MTB rides.<\/p>\n

The ride was 16.39 miles<\/strong> long. The average speed was 12.4 mph. I have remember the gearing and speed riding my MTB is different from a road bike.<\/p>\n

Temperature and daylight changes have started the leaves color bonanza. It is beautiful riding on the trails. Sometimes the leaves have fallen in such large amounts the trail is covered. I have to pay attention not to go off the concrete or asphalt trail. I did not see many other people on the trails. There was a father and his two children in the first 2 miles. The boy was riding a balance bike and the girl had training wheels. The trail was nice and wide where we passed.<\/p>\n

No biking tomorrow on Thanksgiving Day. Friday and Saturday the weather looks great. I should be able to ride the Stradalli RP-14.<\/p>\n

I am now up to 158.38 miles<\/strong> for November and 6330 miles<\/strong> for the year. 170 miles<\/strong> to go.<\/p>\n
