I was able to start my ride earlier today to avoid the heat but it still was 92 degrees when I finished at 12:21 PM (83 degrees at the start). There were some darker clouds in the distance when I started but nothing came of them. The wind was not much help keeping me cool since it was only 6 mph from the south southwest. There is supposed to be a small chance of rain after 1:00 but I am not holding out much hope. If rain doesn’t arrive at least the temperature is supposed to max out in the mid-80’s for the next few days. I am looking forward to that. The humidity has increased from yesterday so this could be pointing to some moisture (56% at the finish).<\/p>\n

I was able to keep my average speed above 15.0 mph again today at 15.1 mph although I was thinking it would be higher. My first five miles usually take 21 to 22 minutes but today it was 19:59 which was a pleasant surprise because this section has a lot of starts and stops. With 6 section 5 mile “laps” 4 of them were 15 mph and above and 2 were below 15 mph. The route was longer than yesterday at 28.33 miles<\/strong> (+ 2.30 miles) and my max speed was 20.7 mph. Average cadence was 79.2 RPM. I am not sure why I cannot get this up to 84 or 85 RPM. September miles are now 159.89<\/strong> and year to date 4216.69 miles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
