2023 cycling week 51

It got cold this week. So except for Monday, I rode after work in the afternoons.

Monday
Cloudy, 58°F, Feels like 53°F, Humidity 90%, Wind 6 (15) mph from W
Wasn't prepared. My weather app said it felt like 57°. But it was apparent that it felt colder and I wasn't dressed for it. At that point, I decided on just one loop.
I can now ride on the MUP before The Ridge as it is paved. But they are still blocked so I have to go slow around them.

Friday
PM ride
Mostly cloudy, 69°F, Feels like 68°F, Humidity 62%, Wind 7 (11) mph from NNE
Decided to ride a little easier so I could earn my Apple Watch December challenge. I needed 44 exercise minutes.
School traffic.
Someone moved the barricades on the SR56 MUP so it is easier to get through. Construction hasn't been there all week and I doubt they will show up next week.

14.4 mph

Saturday
Start: Mostly cloudy, 75°F, Feels like 74°F, Humidity 49%, Wind 13 (17) mph from E
End: Partly sunny, 75°F, Feels like 72°F, Humidity 46%, Wind 10 (18) mph from ENE
Warmer and windy.
I rode up to US301 along SR56.
It would have been a slog on my regular bike but was pretty easy with the e-bike.
There is one spot that is blocked and there is no Sidewalk Closed sign going east. I had to get off my bike to get over the curb.
The return was nice with the tailwind. Actually, it doesn't make much of a difference on the e-bike.
22.59 miles
15.6 mph

Sunday
Start: Mostly cloudy, 73°F, Feels like 71°F, Humidity 69%, Wind 15 (23) mph from E
End: Cloudy, 73°F, Feels like 71°F, Humidity 68%, Wind 12 (22) mph from E
Very windy.
I needed 23 miles and 80 minutes to reach my goals.
I rode up to SR54 east to Fox Ridge Blvd and then back to Meadow Pointe via Chancey.
Traffic was busy for a Sunday but not surprising since tomorrow is Christmas.
Then I extended my ride through KBar Ranch but not enough to make 100 miles this week.
21.09 miles
15.6 mph

This week 99 miles

This year 3,748 miles

Streak 1,394 days
