While waiting for the temperature to warm up I watched stage 11 of the Vuelta a Espana. I hoped it would warm enough that leg warmers weren&#8217;t necessary. The bike ride began at 12:32 PM and finished at 2:49 PM. I left the leg warmers at home. But I wore shorts, long sleeve jersey, and a wind breaker jacket as I rode the Canyon Endurace bike on a slightly different &#8220;Atascocita &#8211; Walden &#8211; FM 2100&#8221; route. The difference came from not riding the longer loop on Cross Country Drive in Walden. When I started the ride I was going to skip Walden altogether but I wanted to ride at least 30 miles and adding the shorter section through Walden was just enough with today&#8217;s ride coming in at <strong>30.51 miles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those miles accomplished two things: <strong>104.23 mile<\/strong>s for the week and <strong>822.29 miles<\/strong> for October. The daily average for October was 26.53 miles, including 6 no ride days. They also improved the year to date to <strong>8,177 miles<\/strong>. This is the most miles in a month since July when I rode 923 miles. I exceeded my 615 mile goal for October by 207 miles. One goal I am behind on is indoor cycling for the year: the goal is 800 miles and I am at <strong>542 miles<\/strong>. With the arrival of November weather I probably will work on the indoor cycling goal. The last time I rode indoors was back on April 4th on Zwift. Recaps of the month and year to date comparison of bike rides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
