After three days of Zwifting it was time to get back on the real road. Getting a later start following church I rode out at 12:32 PM on the “Atascocita – Huffman” route. I skipped biking through Walden for a change. A number of years ago I started going through Walden on this route and never changed because it added a mile to the ride. Today I biked 31.13 miles<\/strong>. The week’s total came in at 186.61 mile<\/strong>s including the three days of Zwifting. November stands at 256.5 miles<\/strong>, 204 miles<\/strong> to reach my 460 mile<\/strong> goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weather during the bike ride: start 72 (60% humidity, 57.3 dew point), partly cloudy, wind S 6 mph. Finish 72 (63% humidity, 58.5 dew point), partly cloudy, wind S 13 mph. I opted for a regular long sleeve jersey and a windbreaker jacket. Because I am a temperature wimp a thermal long sleeve jersey would have been better. The wind increase during the ride and the shade chilled me at times. I looked at the weather around Texas in the paper this morning and longed for Brownsville where it was going to be 80+ degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Somewhere along the route my Niterider Sentinel taillight jumped off the bracket. I guess I didn’t push it down securely enough and one of the many bumps threw it off. I may ride the same route tomorrow to look for it but I don’t hold much hope of finding it. Time to buy another one. The brightness and rechargeable battery were good features. I just need to mount it better. I bought a new seat bag to allow room for the bracket and light and I don’t want to ride without it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
