I thought I would ride a longer distance than New Year&#8217;s Day last year but I was 1 mile short today. My road mile goal for January is 300 miles. Maybe the weather will cooperate. Today&#8217;s 29.1 miles was 10% of the goal. The year&#8217;s road miles goal is 7900 and Zwift miles is 900.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After getting home from church I waited for the fog to burn off a little more. While I was waiting I worked on the rear shifting on my Cervelo Caledonia bike to get it shift better from the #9 cog to the #8. I used the SRAM app to make the micro adjustment and I think it shifts quieter and without the grinding delay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I rolled out on the ride at 12:48 PM riding my Lynskey Helix bike. I chose the <em>Forest Cove &#8211; Oakhurst &#8211; Valley Ranch<\/em> route. I want to see how the new segments of the San Jacinto Bayou Greenway looked since my previous ride <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/30369510\">December 9th<\/a><\/strong> when the workers were still cleaning up. The work looks complete as far as the City of Houston&#8217;s portion. Now Harris County needs to work on their section through Edgewater Park to US59. 3 cyclists passed me at the Marina Drive entrance to the greenway. I don&#8217;t remember seeing other cyclists there before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the fog covering the sun I wore shorts, a long sleeve jersey, and a short sleeve jersey over that. Wind was light from the west but it seemed to be stronger from other directions. My legs were ready for the ride and I built my overall average speed up to 13.9 mph before it settled back to 13.7 mph when I finished at 3:02 PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery
