A late start (1:22) on today’s bike ride but the weather was still fantastic like yesterday. The bike ride followed the “New Caney – Tavola – Valley Ranch” route enjoying the nice tailwind all the way to Tavola. The return trip was not so friendly. I thought my legs were just tired from riding four days in a row but when I got home and checked the weather I found out the wind was gusting to 20 mph and steady from the southeast 7 mph. No wonder the legs had trouble turning the cranks! The 33.90 mile<\/strong> long ride was challenging with the wind. I should’ve ate more before leaving to have energy reserves.<\/p>\n

I am moving closer to my mileage goal for March with only 200.9 miles<\/strong> to go, 66% of the way there.<\/p>\n

No donkeys or free ice cream cones on today’s ride, just the normal stuff.<\/p>\n
