I watched the UC vs Wichita State basketball game on the DVR except for the last 16.4 seconds which the DVR didn&#8217;t record because the game ran over a few minutes. UC won 62 to 61 with Wichita State getting two shots in the last seconds but missing. With this great win I headed out to ride the &#8220;Oakhurst &#8211; Valley Ranch&#8221; route for <strong>26.84 miles<\/strong>. I biked each day this week for a total of <strong>223.87 miles<\/strong>, the first week over 200 miles in 2018. March now totals <strong>131 miles<\/strong> towards the 585 mile goal.<\/p>\n<p>The wind is still challenging when I bike into it. Weather: start 77 (78% humidity), finish 75 (79% humidity), mostly cloudy, wind SE 18 mph. I rode easily to Valley Ranch but going south was not so easy.<\/p>\n<p>Riding on Pine River Drive in South Woodland Hills another rather tall cyclist passed me going the opposite direction. That was the only cyclist along the route.<\/p>\n<p>The mostly cloudy sky did not dull the spring blooms and I stopped to take these photos.<\/p>\n<p class=\"jetpack-slideshow-noscript robots-nocontent\">This slideshow requires JavaScript.<\/p><div id=\"gallery-39527-1-slideshow\" class=\"jetpack-slideshow-window jetpack-slideshow jetpack-slideshow-black\" data-trans=\"fade\" data-autostart=\"1\" data-gallery=\"[{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i0.wp.com\\\/www.texbiker.net\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2018\\\/03\\\/3-4-2018-Rockmead-Dr.jpg?fit=4048%2C3036\\u0026ssl=1&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;39528&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;3-4-2018 Rockmead Dr&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i0.wp.com\\\/www.texbiker.net\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2018\\\/03\\\/3-4-2018-Bear-Branch.jpg?fit=4048%2C3036\\u0026ssl=1&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;39529&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;3-4-2018 Bear Branch&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;}]\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\"><\/div>\n<p>Monday&#8217;s weather forecast shows rain so biking probably will not happen.<\/p>\n<h2>SportTracks Bike Ride Summary<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/17140196\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"39530\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/2018\/03\/04\/stopped-for-the-flowers-bike-ride\/3-4-2018-sporttracks-bike-ride-summary\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/3-4-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=1944%2C1019&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1944,1019\" 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;1520180734&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=\"3-4-2018 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\/03\/3-4-2018-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\/03\/3-4-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=800%2C419&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-39530 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/3-4-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=1200%2C629\" alt=\"Bike Ride Summary\" width=\"1200\" height=\"629\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/3-4-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?w=1944&amp;ssl=1 1944w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/3-4-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=640%2C335&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/3-4-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=600%2C315&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/3-4-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=800%2C419&amp;ssl=1 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/1436750278\">Link to Strava Bike Ride Summary<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I chose a shorter route for today&#8217;s bike ride because of the late start, 1:44 pm.
