The temperature went down the closer to home I got. After getting home I worked on the computer and a few other things. About 2:15 the temperature hit 70 and I decided to go for the bike ride. It didn&#8217;t take too long to get everything ready and wheels rolled at 2:40 PM. With the later start I picked a short route, &#8220;Atascocita &#8211; Walden&#8221;, and biked 24.36 miles. Those miles put the week&#8217;s total at 205.48 miles, the second week in a row at 200+ miles. March now totals 579.51 miles (503.8 on the road and 75.7 in Zwift).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-22-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Week-Summary.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"647\" data-attachment-id=\"52566\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/3-22-2020-sporttracks-bike-ride-week-summary\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-22-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Week-Summary.jpg?fit=1920%2C1035&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1920,1035\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&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=\"3-22-2020 SportTracks Bike Ride Week Summary\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;3-22-2020 SportTracks Bike Ride Week Summary&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-22-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Week-Summary.jpg?fit=600%2C323&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-22-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Week-Summary.jpg?fit=800%2C431&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-22-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Week-Summary.jpg?resize=1200%2C647&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"3-22-2020 SportTracks Bike Ride Week Summary\" class=\"wp-image-52566\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-22-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Week-Summary.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-22-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Week-Summary.jpg?resize=600%2C323&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-22-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Week-Summary.jpg?resize=800%2C431&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-22-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Week-Summary.jpg?resize=640%2C345&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-22-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Week-Summary.jpg?resize=1536%2C828&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter 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=\"March Weather, Nearly Rained On, Other Bikers\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oz3cwp8K_Go?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>As you see in the video many other people were out biking too. I think we kept our social distance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weather during the bike ride: start 71 (87% humidity, 67.3 dew point), overcast with haze, wind SE 10 mph. Finish 74 (87% humidity, 70.2 dew point), overcast, wind SE 8 mph. Near the end of the ride the rain drops starting falling but not for long allowing me to finish at 4:32 PM only slightly damper. My outfit today: shorts, long sleeve thermal jersey (probably overdressed with this), wind jacket, and gloves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I rode the Canyon Endurace CF SLX through some damp spots and standing water from yesterday&#8217;s rain. I will wipe it down after the ride. I am looking for a solution for the dirty streaks from the water bottle condensation running down the frame near the bottom bracket. The first one is for the weather to get hotter which I am ready for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><iframe height='405' width='590' frameborder='0' allowtransparency='true' scrolling='no' src='https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/3208624142\/embed\/b7dd8d5da08b1b1572ae69777815e8641b2d4742'><\/iframe><\/center>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/24335241\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"654\" data-attachment-id=\"52567\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/3-22-2020-sporttracks-bike-ride-summary\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-22-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=1920%2C1047&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1920,1047\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&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=\"3-22-2020 SportTracks Bike Ride Summary\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;3-22-2020 SportTracks Bike Ride Summary&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-22-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=600%2C327&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-22-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=800%2C436&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-22-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=1200%2C654&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"3-22-2020 SportTracks Bike Ride Summary\" class=\"wp-image-52567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-22-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-22-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=600%2C327&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-22-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=800%2C436&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-22-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=640%2C349&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-22-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=1536%2C838&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-22-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=750%2C410&amp;ssl=1 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Driving home from church around noon my plan for a bike ride looked iffy.
