Today&#8217;s bike route accomplished that with 37.18 miles and March now totals 712 road miles and 842.67 miles adding in Zwift riding. This is the most miles for a month since last October. Starting at 11:52 AM riding my Cervelo Caledonia bike I chose the <strong>Atascocita &#8211; Walden &#8211; Spanish Cove Drive<\/strong> route. I made a couple of changes continuing north on Woodland Hills Drive riding through Woodridge Forest to cross over Northpark Drive. This gave me the opportunity to set a Strava <strong>2nd fastest time<\/strong>\u00a0on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/11057258565\/segments\/3208516285097321964\">Soaring Woods to Northpark<\/a>\u00a0(1:50) on Woodridge Parkway. Later on the way back to Kingwood at Rebawood Drive I turned left connecting with Sunny Shores Drive back to Atascocita Shores Drive. This route usually averages around 36 miles and the changes added a mile. The weather was a big improvement from yesterday with sun, warmer temperature, and a light 6 mph wind. I was able to get my overall average speed up to 14.2 mph on the way back to Kingwood.
