This morning at wake up time 39 degrees awaited outside making this a Zwift bike ride day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before getting out of bed I opened the Zwift companion app on my phone and searched for a ride during the middle of the day and found The Herd&#8217;s Tuesday Social Group Ride. The Herd organizes a number of rides with one or more almost every day. Today&#8217;s ride started at 11:55 AM, perfect for my morning routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Indoors With The Herd, Winter Like Weather (Houston&#039;s version) Outdoors\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DpUV16tl5Ug?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The course ran over generally flat terrain with a couple of short climbs. 322 bikers joined The Herd leaders but most of the time rode in front of the leaders bumping up against the fence. Several times I slowed to avoid going through the fence which I believe ran 10 seconds in front of the leader. I went through a few times but got back within a few seconds. Sometimes on a downhill the fence appears quickly and stop pedaling still coasts through the fence. With an hour riding time I rode <strong>20.3 miles<\/strong> improving my December to <strong>284.09 mile<\/strong>s, maybe the most I rode in a December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wednesday the temperature forecast calls for a mid 50&#8217;s high meaning another round of Zwifting for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a
