After two days of Zwifting i wanted to take advantage of slightly warmer weather and ride outside. The three races got me enthused to ride today. The races: from Belgium the men&#8217;s women&#8217;s Nokere Koerse and the Milano &#8211; Torino from Italy. The Milano &#8211; Torino is the oldest bike race according to the commentators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I started getting ready to ride the weather was slowly warming up. By the 12:05 PM start time it was 65 degrees and sunny. Bravely I left the leg warmers at home but I did wear a long sleeve jersey under the wind jacket. The shade was chilly but I figured around 15 minutes into the bike ride my body heat would reach the level that I didn&#8217;t notice it anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weather: start 65 degrees, 43% humidity, dew point 42, a few clouds, wind E 13 mph; finish 70 degrees, 49% humidity, dew point 50, a few clouds, wind E 10 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since it is Wednesday I rode north on my <em>Kingwood &#8211; FM1485 &#8211; Kingwood<\/em> route through Porter and New Caney. My last road ride on Sunday I used my Lynskey Helix bike and usually I switch bikes but again because it is Wednesday I rode my Lynskey Helix again. While generally riding the same streets there was enough difference in the route that Strava didn&#8217;t match it with any previous rides. Comparing today&#8217;s ride with recent rides with the same name in SportTracks the ones below came up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-15-2023-SportTracks-Recent-Ride-Histroy-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood-Route.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"555\" data-attachment-id=\"61824\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/3-15-2023-sporttracks-recent-ride-histroy-kingwood-fm1485-kingwood-route\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-15-2023-SportTracks-Recent-Ride-Histroy-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood-Route.png?fit=1845%2C853&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1845,853\" 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=\"3-15-2023 SportTracks Recent Ride Histroy Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood Route\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;3-15-2023 SportTracks Recent Ride Histroy Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood Route&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;3-15-2023 SportTracks Recent Ride Histroy Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood Route&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-15-2023-SportTracks-Recent-Ride-Histroy-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood-Route.png?fit=600%2C277&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-15-2023-SportTracks-Recent-Ride-Histroy-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood-Route.png?fit=800%2C370&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-15-2023-SportTracks-Recent-Ride-Histroy-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood-Route.png?resize=1200%2C555&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"3-15-2023 SportTracks Recent Ride Histroy Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood Route\" class=\"wp-image-61824\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-15-2023-SportTracks-Recent-Ride-Histroy-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood-Route.png?w=1845&amp;ssl=1 1845w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-15-2023-SportTracks-Recent-Ride-Histroy-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood-Route.png?resize=600%2C277&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-15-2023-SportTracks-Recent-Ride-Histroy-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood-Route.png?resize=800%2C370&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-15-2023-SportTracks-Recent-Ride-Histroy-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood-Route.png?resize=640%2C296&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-15-2023-SportTracks-Recent-Ride-Histroy-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood-Route.png?resize=1536%2C710&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">3-15-2023 SportTracks Recent Ride Histroy Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood Route<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today I rode 32.44 miles which is about average for the route. Over last year and this year I rode three different bikes on this route: Cervelo Caledonia, Lynskey R300, and Lynskey Helix. Today&#8217;s mileage upped my total for the month to 390.9 miles leaving 260 miles to reach my 650 mile March goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An unusual encounter while I stopped for the traffic light on Loop 494 where FM 1485 crosses the railroad tracks. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/athletes\/2921471\">Eric Price<\/a><\/strong> pulled up beside me in a New Caney ISD truck and called out to me. I was surprised. We talked about biking while waiting for the light to change. I follow him on Strava.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strava awarded me the <strong>Local Legend<\/strong>\u00a0on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/8720296216\/segments\/3071170136721550910\">Kris Spraggins Memorial Route<\/a>. this segment is in Elm Grove Village around 3.3 miles into today&#8217;s ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thursday&#8217;s weather looks favorable for biking as long as I don&#8217;t leave as late as today. Rain may arrive in the afternoon. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday look like Zwift ride days with the temperature below my 60 degree threshold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped
