I debated about wearing leg warmers today and ended up wearing them along with a long sleeve thermal jersey and windbreaker jacket. I needed them all because I am a temperature wimp. Although the wind was only 8 mph from the SE it had a chill to it that cut through the jacket and jersey but not the leg warmers. Leaving at 12:52 I hoped the warmer part of the day was ahead but the temperature didn’t really change much during the bike ride along the “Atascocita South – Walden – Huffman” route. My legs need more pedal time but today’s 34.71 miles<\/strong> is headed in the right direction. So far March is up to 207.15 miles<\/strong> towards my 586 mile<\/strong> goal. Just to compare my wimpy weather sense near the end of the ride as I crossed Kingwood Drive a young man on roller blades was without a shirt (no shivers that I could see) while I was bundled up.<\/p>\n

The wind battled me until the 21 mile point as I turned north onto FM 2100. By then the clear blue sky had gained a few scattered puffs of clouds and when the sun went behind one I could feel an increase in the wind chill. From that point the wind was mostly behind helping me get home quicker. No rest stops today since I didn’t want to take a chance of cooling off and being damp when I started riding again. I wasn’t overheated and had energy to keep pedaling.<\/p>\n

I was the long biker on the route and spring break meant no school traffic.<\/p>\n

With 16 potential bike ride days left I will need to be bicycling most of those to reach my mileage goal. I will not bike tomorrow but from then on the weather forecast looks warmer and rain is not a big problem.<\/p>\n
