Starting the week off with today’s bike ride I chose the “Oakhurst – Gene Campbell Road – Valley Ranch” route and rode 39.87 miles<\/strong>. The weather was the way I like it, hot and sunny. I started at 10:50 AM with a pang of missing the Tour de France on TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weather while I rode: start 91 (63% humidity, 77.0 dew point), partly cloudy, wind S 13 mph. Finish 95 (53% humidity, 75.1 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind S 12 mph. After I finished the ride at 2:14 PM I heard thunder and checking the weather radar saw some rain floating around to the north. Glad I got home before rain arrived. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wind wasn’t too much of a problem since the route generally goes east and west. I managed to get my average speed up to 14.0 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I stopped at the Circle K on FM 1314 and Sorters Road to refill my water bottle. Later at the Circle K at FM 1314 and I-69\/US59 I stopped longer to eat a Clif Bar and drink blue PowerAde. I refilled my water bottle to get me home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday I plan on biking to add to July’s mileage which stands at 889.43 miles<\/strong>, almost 90 miles<\/strong> over my goal. My Canyon Endurace CF SLX now has 12012.7 miles in rides since February 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all of the Zwift ads during the TdF I started checking it out for when the weather and the year becomes unfavorable for outdoor riding. It looks interesting but I have a problem. My main computers are a Google Pixelbook and an Acer Chromebook Spin 13 and Zwift doesn’t support Chrome OS. Also I don’t have a smart trainer. I could use the Zwift Android app but I am not sure how to get the action on a bigger screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
