I didn’t want to ride to the south and trying to think of some variety I decided to ride the “Oakhurst – Valley Ranch” route. In order to get more miles in than the usual version of this route I put my thinking cap on trying to remember how it went. The last time I biked these same streets was April 23rd, 2017. I rode it between then and now but not the 29.52 miles<\/strong> like today. The other times the miles were 27 or less. Typically I ride this route on Sunday when I want a shorter bike ride.<\/p>\n

Leaving at 11:04 am I waited until it warmed up to 70 degrees. The forecast called for a high of 80+. I changed my wardrobe from yesterday wearing shorts, long sleeve jersey, windbreaker jacket (with venting), and regular gloves. Weather during the bike ride: start 70 (67% humidity), a few clouds, wind SW 4 mph. Finish 78 (60% humidity), a few clouds, wind SW 6 mph. The wispy clouds from Friday left and a bright blue sky took their place. Home weather at the start and finish of the bike ride.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
