The wind is back! I chose the “Atascocita – Huffman – Walden” route which goes south and to the east into a stiff headwind until the turn around point. Wheels rolled at 10:44 AM after I watched stage 8 of the Giro d’Italia. They didn’t have wind but some damp roads in places. That may happen here later in the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My goal was to bike enough miles to go over 200 miles. I needed 18 miles and rode 32.56 miles<\/strong> putting the week total at 214.83 miles<\/strong> and May up to 474.65 miles<\/strong>, 72% of my goal. After all the rain last week the weather cooperated so I rode 6 days in a row to get these miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weather during the bike ride: start 83 (79% humidity), overcast, wind S 18 mph 27 mph gusts. Finish 82 (80% humidity), overcast, wind S 15 mph 22 mph gusts. I wore shorts, short sleeve jersey, and arm sleeves. The wind made it feel cooler than I would expect for the temperature. The weather at the airport at the start and finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
