I watched two bike races and re-installed the Velo Senso TT+ saddle on my Cervelo Caledonia bike. I wasn&#8217;t pleased with the thickness of the BiSaddle with the &#8220;flat&#8221; insert and the Velo looked better. I dialed in all the measurements for Velo and installed the Lezyne seat bag clip. The test for comfort with the Velo saddle would be today&#8217;s bike ride. Not riding left my week total at 181 miles but the weather forecast promised excellent biking weather for today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goal was to ride enough miles today for a 200+ mile week. I decided to ride a route I can&#8217;t remember doing on a Sunday, <strong>Atascocita &#8211; Spnish Cove &#8211; Walden<\/strong>. Usually I ride my Lynskey Helix bike on Sunday but I wanted to test the Velo saddle so I rode my Crvelo Caledonia bike. As promised the weather improved from Saturday, 81 degrees, fair and the wind from the west at 7 mph when I started at 1:16 PM after getting home from church, get dressed, and eating a snack. When I finished at 4:02 PM it was 86, fair, and a SW wind at 9 mph. Perfect. I wore a short sleeve jersey and arm sleeves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Velo saddle was comfortable for the whole ride. I wore a pair of shorts with lighter padding than some of my other bike shorts. Sometimes less is better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today was the fifth time biking this route. The 34.44 miles was below the average distance. I think the speed sensor battery was weak because I rode on extra streets and made a wrong turn from W. Lake Houston Parkway and once the speed was 0 while moving around 15 mph. After the ride I tested the battery and it was weak so I replaced it. Ready for the next ride.<\/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\/04\/4-30-2023-SportTracks-Ride-History-Atascocita-Spanish-Cove-Walden.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"302\" data-attachment-id=\"62288\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/4-30-2023-sporttracks-ride-history-atascocita-spanish-cove-walden\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-30-2023-SportTracks-Ride-History-Atascocita-Spanish-Cove-Walden.png?fit=1834%2C462&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1834,462\" 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=\"4-30-2023 SportTracks Ride History Atascocita-Spanish Cove-Walden\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;4-30-2023 SportTracks Ride History Atascocita-Spanish Cove-Walden&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;4-30-2023 SportTracks Ride History Atascocita-Spanish Cove-Walden&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-30-2023-SportTracks-Ride-History-Atascocita-Spanish-Cove-Walden.png?fit=600%2C151&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-30-2023-SportTracks-Ride-History-Atascocita-Spanish-Cove-Walden.png?fit=800%2C202&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-30-2023-SportTracks-Ride-History-Atascocita-Spanish-Cove-Walden.png?resize=1200%2C302&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"4-30-2023 SportTracks Ride History Atascocita-Spanish Cove-Walden\" class=\"wp-image-62288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-30-2023-SportTracks-Ride-History-Atascocita-Spanish-Cove-Walden.png?w=1834&amp;ssl=1 1834w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-30-2023-SportTracks-Ride-History-Atascocita-Spanish-Cove-Walden.png?resize=600%2C151&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-30-2023-SportTracks-Ride-History-Atascocita-Spanish-Cove-Walden.png?resize=800%2C202&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-30-2023-SportTracks-Ride-History-Atascocita-Spanish-Cove-Walden.png?resize=640%2C161&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-30-2023-SportTracks-Ride-History-Atascocita-Spanish-Cove-Walden.png?resize=1536%2C387&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">4-30-2023 SportTracks Ride History Atascocita-Spanish Cove-Walden<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With today&#8217;s miles the week ended with 215.19 miles.
