Waiting until 12:08 PM to start today’s bike ride I wanted the temperature to get above 60 degrees which it did. I rolled out on the “New Caney – Tavola – Valley Ranch” route adding a few extra streets to be sure I rode more than 35.4 miles. That is how many I needed to reach my 300<\/strong> mile goal for January. With those extra streets I ended up biking 37.68 miles<\/strong> putting me over my goal at 302.3 miles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weather dictated my clothing choices: shorts, leg warmers, short sleeve jersey, long sleeve thermal jersey, wind breaker jacket, and full finger gloves. Until I warmed up I felt chilly. As I rode by people working in their yard or walking on the sidewalks they wore a lot less clothes than I did. Partially I am a temperature wimp but wind chill makes a difference too. Weather during the bike ride: Weather: start 65 (60% humidity), partly cloudy, wind E 7 mph. Finish 64 (55% humidity), mostly cloudy, Wind S 12 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clouds started getting thicker at the end of the ride and I wondered if I might get rained on before I finished but that didn’t happen. I finished the ride at 2:58 PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday’s weather forecast looks favorable for biking so I plan on adding to January mileage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
