I kept waiting for the weather to get closer to the forecast but I gave up and dressed for the chilly temperature. Rolling out at 12:34 PM this was later than I planned but allowed enough time to ride the “Atascocita – Walden – Huffman” route for 33.33 miles<\/strong>, a mile more than I expected. I am now 49% of the way to my mileage goal for March at 287.25 miles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weather during the bike ride: start 67 (90% humidity), fog\/mist, wind E mph. Finish 70 (89% humidity), fog\/mist, wind SE 13 mph. To combat the chill I wore shorts, leg warmers, thermal long sleeve jersey, wind breaker jacket, and half finger gloves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the nice pace on yesterday’s ride my legs were not quite as fresh and I struggled to budge my average speed to 13 mph until I reached Old Atascocita Road and FM 2100 where the wind stopped getting in the way. My legs appreciated the help the tailwind provided as I rode north to FM 1960 and Huffman. Once I moved to FM 1960 I picked up the pace and my average started to move up settling in at 13.3 mph until I got back into Kingwood. I finished the ride at 3:09 PM with the thermal jersey damp from sweat and the jacket showing signs of sweat bleeding through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not sure about biking on Wednesday with the weather possibly being wet in the morning to noon time. I am a couple of days ahead on my goal with 15.19 days of miles as of the 12th of March. I can’t seem to get a bigger margin. Thursday I have another commitment so no biking and Friday a cool front may still be hanging around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
