The time limit revolved around the start time for the UC Bearcats basketball game at 4 PM in the semi-finals game against Wichita State in the American Athletic Conference tournament. I finished the ride at 3:16 PM so I should be good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weather during the bike ride: start 61 (35% humidity), mostly cloudy, wind E 10 mph. Finish 63 (31% humidity), mostly cloudy, wind NE 6 mph. To combat my getting cold I wore shorts, leg warmers, thermal long sleeve jersey, short sleeve jersey, and full finger gloves. Even with all of this I felt chilly for about 15 minutes into the ride. By then I generated enough body heat to not think about the wind chill too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am reaping the benefits of the new rear 11-28T cassette gearing. My pedaling and effort seemed better matched. Today I was able to improve my average speed almost the entire ride getting to 14.0 mph just as I got back to Kings Manor and then Kingwood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Canyon now has 8101 miles since late February 2018. The Continental GatorSkin tires have about 6000 miles on them. I probably can go another 1000 to 1500 before replacing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sunday it should warm up a few degrees so I plan on continuing the quest to reach <strong>585 miles<\/strong> for March. At this point I am at <strong>342.29 mile<\/strong>s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-markdown\"><h2>SportTracks Bike Ride Summary<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/20231812\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"664\" data-attachment-id=\"47611\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/2019\/03\/16\/47610\/3-16-2019-sporttracks-bike-ride-summary\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/3-16-2019-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=1865%2C1032&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1865,1032\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Rick Ankrum&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1552750710&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"3-16-2019 SportTracks Bike Ride Summary\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/3-16-2019-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=600%2C332&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/3-16-2019-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=800%2C443&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/3-16-2019-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=1200%2C664&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"SportTracks Bike Ride Summary\" class=\"wp-image-47611\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/3-16-2019-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?w=1865&amp;ssl=1 1865w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/3-16-2019-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=640%2C354&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/3-16-2019-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=600%2C332&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/3-16-2019-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=800%2C443&amp;ssl=1 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/2217994985\/embed\/20517f573f2f6ec2a866068317b7c68f1c955dca\" width=\"590\" height=\"405\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-markdown\"><h2>Strava Year Progressions Graph<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I still lag behind 2016, 2017 and 2018 in miles YTD.
