As forecast the sun arrived this morning with some upper level wispy clouds resulting in a partly cloudy designation by the weather people. While it was 50 degrees when I got to the kitchen after getting up it began warming up as the sun came up. By the time I was ready to ride the temperature got up to 68. I chose a south and east route: “Atascocita – Walden – Huffman,” leaving at 11:22 am.<\/p>\n
Today I rode 32.3 miles<\/strong> narrowing the gap to my goal to 49.3 miles;<\/strong> 650.7 miles<\/strong> versus the 700 miles<\/strong> for my October goal.<\/p>\n With the “chilly” weather I over dressed with shorts, leg warmers, long sleeve thermal jersey, short sleeve jersey, wind breaker jacket, and regular bike gloves. If it was so chilly I am not sure why I chose those gloves but it turned out to be a good choice for later in the ride when it got up in the 70’s. The weather at the start and finish of the ride.<\/p>\n
