I was watching the Vuelta a San Juan which I thought would finish around 12:30 pm according to cyclingfans.com. Instead the live stream started showing the distance to the finish at 64K so I decided to get ready and go for ride.<\/p>\n<p>With the late start I chose the &#8220;Atascocita South &#8211; Walden &#8211; Kingwood&#8221; route for a total of 25.95 miles. With the shorter distance I finished at 3:27 pm. I did see one other cyclist and our paths crossed twice in Kingwood. He wasn&#8217;t dressed as I was. It was 64 degrees at the start (clear sky, 5 mph wind) so I bundled up with shorts, leg warmers, long sleeve thermal jersey, windbreaker jacket and full finger gloves. He didn&#8217;t have leg warmers. I was glad I wore the gloves because the wind had a stout chill to it when riding into it.<\/p>\n<p>I have now biked 109.6 miles on the road this year. Not as much as I planned but more than I thought with the cold weather we have had. I am a wimp when it comes to the temperature. My cutoff is 60 degrees but I still probably over dress when it is in the 60&#8217;s. I am ready for 85 degrees.<\/p>\n<p>The replacement Wahoo speed sensor arrived in the mail today. I will get it setup on the Blue Norcross AL bike.<\/p>\n<p>No biking on Thursday but I hope to be on the road on Friday if it warms up.<\/p>\n<h2>SportTracks Ride Summary<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/16808204\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"38713\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/2018\/01\/24\/almost-too-cool-bike-ride\/1-24-2018-sporttracks-bike-ride-summary\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/1-24-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=1919%2C1009&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1919,1009\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Rick Ankrum&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1516809088&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"1-24-2018 SportTracks Bike Ride Summary\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/1-24-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=600%2C315&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/1-24-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=800%2C421&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-38713 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/1-24-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=1200%2C631\" alt=\"SportTracks Bike Ride Summary\" width=\"1200\" height=\"631\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/1-24-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?w=1919&amp;ssl=1 1919w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/1-24-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=640%2C337&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/1-24-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=600%2C315&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/1-24-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=800%2C421&amp;ssl=1 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I should have started today&#8217;s bike ride sooner than 1:26 pm.
