Today’s weather has a split personality. When I left home the sun was shining and the air felt cool from a rain front that tried to move through during the night. My rain gauge showed a paltry .08″ of rain but I will take whatever we can get. During my ride as I approached FM1960 to the south a light rain started to fall and as I rode east the rain started to fall harder so when I reached the 13.8 mile point I decided to turn around and head back. As I rode back the rain continued until I turned north off of FM1960 and then it gradually came to a stop. By the time I got home the sky was full sun and no rain was around. This is not surprising since I decided to wax my chain and wash the bike before riding.<\/p>\n

My goal was to ride 28 miles but I ended up riding 24.47 miles<\/strong> due to the rain. I started late today at 11:09 because the radar showed some rain moving through the area to the south. When I started the temperature was 84 degrees and the breeze felt cool. By the time I got back the temperature was only 89 degrees. We are supposed to get over 100 again today but it may not make it. The reason I wanted to get 28 miles was so that when I ride in Hotter’n Hell 100 on Saturday I would get my year to date miles over 4,000. I can still make it but it will be close. Last year I rode 74.5 miles at the Hotter’n Hell 100.<\/p>\n

August miles are now 487.87<\/strong> and the year to date miles are 3926.52<\/strong>. Average speed was 15.5 mph and the max speed was 22.0 mph. My average cadence was 82.6 RPM, the highest in many rides.<\/p>\n
