I wasn&#8217;t sure how my recovering saddle sores would react to a longer bike ride. I rode north along US77 on the frontage road to Loop 499. The frontage road was chip and seal but Loop 499 was asphalt. I appreciated the less bumpy ride on the loop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I started riding at 10:07 AM, earlier than my rides last Thursday and Friday. No bike races to watch today and delay my start. I finished at 11:19 AM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yesterday I planned a route with RWGPS with about 18 miles but I didn&#8217;t use that route today coming in at 14.17 miles. I will ride more miles tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wind blows strong here. I checked the weather conditions on my phone. The ride to the north would be with a tailwind but riding on Loop 499 the wind would turn into a headwind as the road bent to the SW. Weather conditions: start 82 degrees, 63% humidity, dew point 68, wind S 24 mph gusts 32 mph; finish 88 degrees, 50% humidity, dew point 67, wind SW 17 mph gusts 25 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My legs handled the headwind but my speed fell compared to the tailwind ride north. I used the 35&#215;15 gears once I was warmed up. My <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/axs.sram.com\/activities\/wahoo-262128671__1677514075\">AXS.SRAM.com ride report <\/a><\/strong>shows the gearing and power data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Strava awarded a silver medal for the only segment on the ride. 2nd fastest time on Breedlove to Harrison on Loop499 (17:45)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"strava-embed-placeholder\" data-embed-type=\"activity\" data-embed-id=\"8631673624\"><\/div><script src=\"https:\/\/strava-embeds.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today was a short bike ride for me.
