I wanted to ride a little shorter distance than yesterday and this fit the bill coming in at <strong>37.42 miles<\/strong>. Starting at 11:13 am the weather was perfect: start 85 (57% humidity), mostly cloudy, wind SW 5 mph. Finish 91 (38% humidity), a few clouds, wind 4 mph. Wind wasn&#8217;t a problem for my legs today. Attire was the typical summer one: shorts and short sleeve jersey.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing out of the ordinary along the route including no other cyclists spotted. No rest stop today though I should have made stop to refill my water bottle. I was thirsty by the time I finished at 1:50 pm.<\/p>\n<p>Last year on this date I biked from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/2017\/05\/15\/marathon-key-west-fl-bike-ride\/\"><strong>Marathon to Key West Florida<\/strong><\/a>. This was the second day, dividing the 100 miles from Key Largo to Key West into two days. The first day I rode alone but on the second I started out with another cyclist and after the 7 mile bridge we were joined by two other cyclists. Two photos from the ride.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_36164\" style=\"width: 4010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a
