As I ate a snack the temperature jumped around 65 degrees. I made up my mine after riding Zwift 5 times this week that outdoors was necessary. Getting dressed I donned shorts, a long sleeve thermal jersey and a wind jacket. I opted to not wear leg warmers which my legs argued for after the ride started at 2:23 PM. Aboard my Lynskey Helix bike I wasn&#8217;t sure which Kingwood streets would be on the route. I mix the streets up when I do that, enough that Strava didn&#8217;t  find any matching rides out of the 18 previous Kingwood streets rides this year. Because of the unknown streets I guessed the ride would go 18 miles but I ended up at 20.29 miles when I finished at 4:01 PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yesterday I received the battery pack\/headlight from AliExpress to used with my GoPro for longer rides when the GoPro battery dies. Today&#8217;s ride wasn&#8217;t that long time wise so I didn&#8217;t test it. Maybe in January. This is what it looks like. The attached cable is neatly hidden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
