Well actually it did not get real dark until about 10 minutes after I left on the ride. The windy part is true with the 18 mph SE wind making the ride a challenge when I hit the exposed areas. The heavy clouds could have let some rain loose any time but I only had a few isolated sprinkles at the 3.5 mile mark. Tomorrow has a slight chance of rain so maybe I can get a ride in.<\/p>\n<p>The weekend was a bust as far as riding was concerned. Saturday morning had rain so I skipped the Baytown Gator Ride. In fact as the day wore on the temperature dropped into the lower 50&#8217;s, below my threshold. Sunday had too many other duties so biking could not get up the priority list.<\/p>\n<p>March mileage report:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>March miles 42.23<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>YTD miles 567.41<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_7606\" style=\"width: 968px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7606\" data-attachment-id=\"7606\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/2011\/03\/07\/it-was-a-dark-and-windy-evening-march-7th-bike-ride\/3-7-2011-garmin-connect\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/3-7-2011-Garmin-Connect.jpg?fit=958%2C977&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"958,977\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Rick&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1299527877&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"3-7-2011 Garmin Connect\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;3-7-2011 Ride Data&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/3-7-2011-Garmin-Connect.jpg?fit=294%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/3-7-2011-Garmin-Connect.jpg?fit=588%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7606\" title=\"3-7-2011 Garmin Connect\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/3-7-2011-Garmin-Connect.jpg?resize=958%2C977\" alt=\"\" width=\"958\" height=\"977\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/3-7-2011-Garmin-Connect.jpg?w=958&amp;ssl=1 958w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/3-7-2011-Garmin-Connect.jpg?resize=294%2C300&amp;ssl=1 294w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/3-7-2011-Garmin-Connect.jpg?resize=147%2C150&amp;ssl=1 147w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/3-7-2011-Garmin-Connect.jpg?resize=400%2C407&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 958px) 100vw, 958px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7606\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">3-7-2011 Ride Data<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Additional charts, weather and map.<\/p>\n<p>[nggallery id=181]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was a dark and windy evening when I left for my ride.
