This called for a bike ride since the forecast is for 31 degrees tonight and 40&#8217;s for the high on Monday and Tuesday. So I took off. This was the first ride with the newly installed Performance Kevlar Pro 700&#215;23 tires. I had mounted them thinking I was going to the Jalapeno 100 this weekend but that did not happen. I wanted to have two matching tires on my rims instead of the mismatched ones I had been using. It was a good ride. One thing I did notice towards the end of the ride was how weak my neck muscles are. Even though I have a fairly light helmet it was a strain to keep my head level. So much for the windtrainer helping this. I need to wear my helmet when I use the windtrainer.<\/p>\n<p>The stats:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>miles = 28.38<\/li>\n<li>time = 1:54:59:23<\/li>\n<li>average speed = 14.8<\/li>\n<li>max speed = 21.2<\/li>\n<li>average cadence = 41 (I need to check the sensor on this one)<\/li>\n<li>total ascent = 261 ft, total descent = 184 ft.
