I got a later start on today’s bike ride after watching the UC Bearcats vs Temple Owls basketball game. Rolling out at 1:51 PM the route was a short one at 16.01 miles biking on Kingwood streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Weather during the bike ride: start 65 (51% humidity), mostly cloudy, wind 4 mph. Finish 66 (39% humidity), partly cloudy, wind W 6 mph. I dressed much like yesterday with shorts, leg warmers, thermal long sleeve jersey, wind breaker jacket, and full finger gloves. I hoped it would be warm enough to wear regular gloves but the wind chill made the choice for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the way back home I stopped at the post office to get two mailing boxes. I was about 1 1\/2 miles from home and balancing them with my left hand the wind made riding tougher but I made it home without incident finishing the ride at 3:13 PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead of riding the Canyon Endurace CF SLX I chose the Blue Norcross AL for some variety and also because the Blue is about 7 pounds heavier the workout would be a little harder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Monday’s weather forecast looks slightly warmer and dry so I plan on riding. Monday night and Tuesday the next cold front arrives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
