I chose the &#8220;Kingwood &#8211; FM1485 &#8211; Kingwood&#8221; route to ride. I needed 27 miles to reach my 150 mile goal for December and this route was long enough to do it. I rode my Canyon Endurace out of the driveway at 11:02 AM to begin the ride. The weather was conducive with 66 degrees, partly cloudy sky and calm wind at the start. By the time I finished at 1:33 PM it warmed up to 71 degrees with the wind out of the SW at 8 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Video equipment for today&#8217;s bike ride was my GoPro Hero 7 Silver in the hand held mode. With the pocket in my jacket it is easy to reach. The lanyard case helps too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ride covered <strong>32.25 miles<\/strong> putting my total miles so far in December at <strong>155.59<\/strong>, 5 miles over my goal. Year to date I biked 9,135 miles combining road miles and Zwift miles. Below is a summary my December activity versus my goals.<\/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\/12-21-2020-MTD-Biking-Activity-Summary-vs-Goals.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"726\" data-attachment-id=\"55062\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/2020\/12\/21\/out-of-the-house-for-a-real-bike-ride-to-fm-1485-and-back\/12-21-2020-mtd-biking-activity-summary-vs-goals\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/12-21-2020-MTD-Biking-Activity-Summary-vs-Goals.jpg?fit=1219%2C738&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1219,738\" 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=\"12-21-2020-MTD-Biking-Activity-Summary-vs-Goals\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/12-21-2020-MTD-Biking-Activity-Summary-vs-Goals.jpg?fit=600%2C363&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/12-21-2020-MTD-Biking-Activity-Summary-vs-Goals.jpg?fit=800%2C484&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/12-21-2020-MTD-Biking-Activity-Summary-vs-Goals.jpg?resize=1200%2C726&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"MTD Biking Activity summary vs. goals\" class=\"wp-image-55062\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/12-21-2020-MTD-Biking-Activity-Summary-vs-Goals.jpg?w=1219&amp;ssl=1 1219w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/12-21-2020-MTD-Biking-Activity-Summary-vs-Goals.jpg?resize=600%2C363&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/12-21-2020-MTD-Biking-Activity-Summary-vs-Goals.jpg?resize=800%2C484&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/12-21-2020-MTD-Biking-Activity-Summary-vs-Goals.jpg?resize=640%2C387&amp;ssl=1 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biking outside has a much better feel to it than sweating away on the smart trainer indoors doing Zwift. Also my Sidi shoes are more roomy than the Shimano ones I wear when I Zwift. The Sidi shoes use a different cleat or I would wear than indoors to Zwift. While it was chilly (by my definition) at the beginning I was comfortable throughout the ride thanks to a good kit selection: shorts, leg warmers, long sleeve thermal jersey, windbreaker jacket, and half finger gloves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I started the ride early enough to allow me to stop at Pat&#8217;s Donuts in Porter to buy an apple fritter. Since it was close to closing time the lady gave me an one for free. I waited until I finished the ride to eat one saving the other for tomorrow&#8217;s ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Power out during today&#8217;s ride was higher than my Zwift rides. Average speed too as I hit 14.5 mph around the 26 mile point but averaged 14.4 mph once I made the u-turn at Caney Creek and headed back to Kingwood. Strava told me today&#8217;s ride was harder than my usual rides but it didn&#8217;t seem that hard. Below is the overview of the bike ride created by Golden Cheetah followed by the ride summary data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a
