20 consecutive days biking finally takes it toll. My legs weren’t power enough to overcome the ENE 9 mph wind on the “Atascocita – Huffman” route. Once I reached Huffman and took a short 20 minute break (I needed to get home by 12:45) going west the wind helped my tired legs and I raised my average speed from a weak 13.9 to a somewhat satisfying 14.1 mph. Over the 29.76 mile<\/strong> ride whenever I came to an incline I bogged down to 11 or 12 mph with no power. I think it is time for a recovery day.<\/p>\n

The weather felt a tiny bit cooler when I left home at 10:06 ( I should’ve left an hour earlier) and this was reflected when I took these screenshots in Huffman during the rest stop at 18.2 miles.<\/p>\n

I haven’t seen 88 degrees at noon in many many weeks. By the time I got home at 12:49 though it warmed up a few degrees.<\/p>\n

This was the 5th time I rode this route in 2015. I use this route when I am limited on time. (See the table below)<\/p>\n
