The ride started earlier today leaving home at 10:38 but it was still hot (90 degrees). The scattered clouds and light wind made for great biking weather. I waffled on what route to take until just before I started finally choosing the “May Park Community Center – Huffman” route over a shorter route in the same general direction. I saw one other biker not long after I turned onto Fairlake Drive from FM1960. We waved in passing. This route totaled 39.27 miles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

No issues during the ride but before the ride I replaced the battery in the speed sensor. Since I started using this sensor a few weeks ago I noticed the speed would suddenly drop to a very low speed and then jump back to the higher speed without any change in my speed. This happened using the Edge 520 and the Wahoo Elemnt which made me think it was sensor related. The only user replaceable part is the battery. During today’s ride this happened a few times that I saw but much less than on previous rides. Sometimes it happened when vehicles pass beside me. I don’t know if the vehicle caused radio interference with sensor but the new battery seemed to help some.<\/p>\n

I stopped at the May Community Center long enough to fill my water bottle and get a paper towel to wind the sweat from my eyes and then back on the bike to ride to the Huffman Chevron for a rest break. The Elemnt pages when I arrived there.<\/p>\n

The rest time was cooling with a breeze blowing through the pump canopy area while I sat eating and drinking PowerAde. I finished about 1:14 and got back on the bike to ride 11+ miles to home. I got home at 2:05.<\/p>\n

I am up to 668 miles<\/strong> for June and my goal is 975<\/strong>, 307 miles<\/strong> away. Today marks the 11th day in a row of riding. This is the longest uninterrupted string this year. Friday’s weather forecast looks favorable for another ride.<\/p>\n
