To do that I rode my Canyon Endurace on the <strong>Atascocita &#8211; Huffman &#8211; Walden<\/strong> route but added about 3 miles to the typical ride of 34 miles. Those 3 extra miles boosted my week&#8217;s total to 203.64 miles. Not too much over but enough for the 12th week in a row over 200 miles. If it isn&#8217;t too hot after church tomorrow I will ride to add more miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I started a little later than I wanted because I watched part of the women&#8217;s race Classic Lorient from France while eating breakfast. Maybe I ate slower than I should&#8217;ve. I rode away at 8:14 AM with the temperature in the mid 70&#8217;s, unusual lately for it to be below 80. On Saturdays I look forward to possibly seeing other cyclists but wondered if starting 30 minutes later I would miss. Not to worry. I think I saw as many as usual, maybe a few more. The first big group caught my eye as I turned left onto FM 1960 from Atascocita Shores Drive. Then on Fairlake Lane and Old Atascocita Road more passed. Most of them are in the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weather: Start 75 degrees, 83% humidity, dew point 69.8, partly cloudy, wind N 5 mph; Finish 92 degrees, 52% humidity, dew point 71.5, a few clouds, wind NE 7 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My legs felt good and the light wind didn&#8217;t present too much headwind challenges. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/axs.sram.com\/activities\/wahoo-262128671__1693660447\">My AXS.SRAM.com ride report<\/a><\/strong> reflects that with 25 rear derailleur shifts, 1:47:49 in the 35&#215;13 gears (24.9 miles) out of a total moving time of 2:51:17. It was a great day to ride my bike. Praise the Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure
