Not sure why I pushed for the earlier start. I paused stage 4 of the Giro D&#8217;Italia with 100km left to the finish to get ready for today&#8217;s ride. The route was <strong>Atascocita &#8211; Huffman &#8211; Walden<\/strong>. Starting this early I hoped to see other cyclists on the route and I did. Most of them are in the video but a couple caught me by surprise before I got the GoPro to record. I rode away on my Cervelo Caledonia at 8:16 AM. The weather was comfortable with no threat of rain. When I got to Woodland Hills Drive as I exited Sherwood Trails Village I decided to turn right and ride through Woodridge Forest instead of continuing on Chanay to Northpark Drive. Later when I came to FM 2100 I crossed over and rode east on Old Atascocita Road because I could see a flashing headlight in the far distance and suspected it was more cyclists. When I finished at 10:57 AM I covered <strong>34.16 miles<\/strong>. This is a little longer than the typical distance on this route. This pushed my week total to 239.18 miles and the month to 658.73 miles. I now need 92 miles to hit my 750 mile goal for May. This is the most miles in a week this year and Sunday is a potential ride day. I may need to take a rest day to let my legs recover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weather conditions: Start 75 degrees, 84% humidity, 69.6 dew point, mostly cloudy, wind NW 4 mph; Finish 83 degrees, 66% humidity, 70.8 dew point, partly cloudy, wind NW 10 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strava <strong>PR<\/strong>\u00a0on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/9107350198\/segments\/3095033321910241396\">Soaring Woods to Northpark<\/a>\u00a0(1:54).
