Late start on today’s bike ride at 2:27 pm. The delay came from my new Canyon Endurance CF SLX bike arriving around 11:15 am and the assembly of it. Two items are still in transit so I couldn’t take it on the ride; water bottle cage and outfront mount for the Elemnt computer. Hopefully they arrive by this time next week or sooner. I will write a post after this one with pictures of the unboxing and assembling.<\/p>\n

The plan for today’s bike ride was to get closer to my February mileage goal so that Tuesday and Wednesday I can exceed the goal and try to recover the miles I missed meeting in January; 88 miles. I got close, riding 23.4 miles<\/strong> today, leaving 3.2 miles<\/strong> to hit my February goal of 345 miles. Tuesday and Wednesday rides (weather willing) could make a large dent in the January shortage.<\/p>\n

Yesterday (Sunday) it rained most of the day so no biking. Today the early fog slowly lifted but it took a few hours for the temperature to get to 71 degrees when I start riding. The sky was mostly cloudy with a little sun breaking through sometimes. Wind from the east at 7 mph wasn’t too much of an issue unlike the last two bike rides. Humidity was 63% to 67%, not too muggy.<\/p>\n

To combat the chill (for me anyway) I wore shorts, thermal long sleeve jersey and a short sleeve jersey. At times when riding into the wind I thought I should’ve put a long sleeve jersey over the thermal one but after I warmed up it wasn’t as noticeable. The forecast shows Tuesday and Wednesday temperatures close to 80, much better for biking. It was 70 degrees when I finished at 4:20 pm.<\/p>\n

No PowerPod information for the ride because I removed the mount which wasn’t positioned correctly. When the Elemnt mount arrives for the Canyon Endurance I will move the mount from the Stradalli to the Blue Norcross AL bike. I plan on selling the Stradalli Red Pro 14 bike.<\/p>\n
