So I switched to the Canyon Endurace CF 7 bike. Nice to have options when something like this happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I woke up this morning I wasn&#8217;t sure today would be an outside bike ride because of the 36 degree temperature. the warmed things up rather quickly and by 11:30 I started getting ready to ride. I went over route options in my head and settled on riding north but not which specific route. I left it with two options: ride to Caney Creek and back or to Roman Forest Blvd. and back. I made the decision after starting at 12:13 PM as I warmed up riding: <strong>New Caney &#8211; Roman Forest Blvd &#8211; Oakhurst<\/strong>. This would the first ride this far north in 2024 which isn&#8217;t saying too much since this only my fourth road ride this year. The sun and light wind helped. I dressed for 63 degrees: shorts, leg warmers, long sleeve thermal jersey, and a wind jacket. I was comfortable once I warmed up and from the sun. I rode 34.82 miles and finished at 2:53 PM. There aren&#8217;t enough days left in January to reach my 334 road mile goal but today got me a little closer. The next two days should be road rides and narrow the shortfall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I reclaimed one Strava <strong>Local Legend<\/strong>\u00a0on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/10656099093\/segments\/3187154471948626762\">KPHS Sprint<\/a> by riding it twice today.
