Today I waited for the temperature to move above 60 degrees before beginning the ride at 12:24 PM. My Canyon Endurace bike almost forgot what is was to go outside. I bundled up with shorts, leg warmers, a wicking t-shirt, long sleeve thermal jersey, windbreaker jacket, and full finger gloves. I don&#8217;t care for chilly weather. My road mileage goal for December is 150 miles. The reason it is so low is the weather. To offset that I ride in Zwift when it is too cold to ride outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today&#8217;s ride video is a short one. I used my handheld GoPro Hero 7 Silver for all of the clips. I wondered if I could press the record button on the Hero 7 Black with my gloves on. The wind blew the dead cat mic muff off the Comica mic but I quickly stopped and picked it up. I need to find a better way to keep it on the mic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Waited For More Degrees For 1st December Bike Ride\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DtGCbyvoGiM?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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I chose the &#8220;Atascocita &#8211; Walden &#8211; E. Lake Houston Parkway&#8221; route for today&#8217;s ride. With a late start I didn&#8217;t want to go farther and risk the temperature dropping. I biked <strong>28.12 miles<\/strong>, almost catching me up on the miles I was short to reach my goal so far, only <strong>5.76 miles<\/strong> behind. Year to date I moved to <strong>8,904 miles<\/strong>. I have never biked this many miles in a year. If I reach my road goal and add more Zwift miles I will hit 9,000+ miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With about 8 miles left in the ride I stopped to answer a text message and took this shot. The blue sky is terrific.<\/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\/12\/12-7-2020-Bike-Ride-Atascocita-Shores-Drive.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1119\" height=\"873\" data-attachment-id=\"54825\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/12-7-2020-bike-ride-atascocita-shores-drive\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/12-7-2020-Bike-Ride-Atascocita-Shores-Drive.jpg?fit=1119%2C873&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1119,873\" 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=\"12-7-2020 Bike Ride Atascocita Shores Drive\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;12-7-2020 Bike Ride Atascocita Shores Drive&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/12-7-2020-Bike-Ride-Atascocita-Shores-Drive.jpg?fit=577%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/12-7-2020-Bike-Ride-Atascocita-Shores-Drive.jpg?fit=769%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/12-7-2020-Bike-Ride-Atascocita-Shores-Drive.jpg?resize=1119%2C873&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"12-7-2020 Bike Ride Atascocita Shores Drive\" class=\"wp-image-54825\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/12-7-2020-Bike-Ride-Atascocita-Shores-Drive.jpg?w=1119&amp;ssl=1 1119w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/12-7-2020-Bike-Ride-Atascocita-Shores-Drive.jpg?resize=577%2C450&amp;ssl=1 577w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/12-7-2020-Bike-Ride-Atascocita-Shores-Drive.jpg?resize=769%2C600&amp;ssl=1 769w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/12-7-2020-Bike-Ride-Atascocita-Shores-Drive.jpg?resize=615%2C480&amp;ssl=1 615w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1119px) 100vw, 1119px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My power output is much better on the road than in Zwift.
