Today the weather was better in some respects but windy and cooler. I started the bike ride at 12:31 PM and finished at 2:46 PM. I wasn&#8217;t sure I had enough time to ride the route I chose but I made it. I rode north on my Lynskey R300 bike following my &#8220;New Caney &#8211; Roman Forest Blvd &#8211; Valley Ranch&#8221; route. My goal for April is <strong>600 miles<\/strong> and today&#8217;s <strong>30.53 miles<\/strong> is 5% of the way there. I need to ride an average of 20 miles per day to hit my goal. No Zwift miles this month. My week total stands at <strong>96.12 miles<\/strong> and I am <strong>27 miles<\/strong> behind my pace for last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The weather changed and biking north the headwind tried to slow me down but I kept on pedaling. I dressed like it was cold with shorts, leg warmers, a t-shirt under a long sleeve thermal jersey, windbreaker jacket, and full finger gloves that are too small. Weather conditions: start 64 (27% humidity, 29.5 dew point), fair, wind NE 16 mph; finish 68 (26% humidity, 31.9 dew point), Fair, wind NE 9 mph gusts 21 mph. the 21 mph gusts came in handy biking back to Kingwood. I built my average speed up 14.4 mph with its help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Strava declared me a &#8220;Local Legend&#8221; on one segment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A summary of March bike rides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div
