Weather-wise, I don’t think we could have asked for a better, more comfortable day for a bike ride. With the average temperature right around 80 degrees, and the sky covered with high altitude clouds, this morning’s bike ride was done in ideal weather conditions. And as a bonus of sorts, the reported wind from the east was negligible.
After circling the park for maybe six or seven miles, I received a call on my smart-phone from one of my cycling amigos. He told me that no one showed for the Monday morning mall and coffee shop ride, so I invited him to the park to ride with my wife and me.
After arriving in the park just minutes after the phone call, Rey, my wife and I then rode around in circles, or so it seemed, for a considerable amount of miles until my Garmin Edge 500 GPS indicated that my wife and I had reached our goal of a half-metric century, or 50 kilometers. That was our cue to leave the park and then ride home, after first thanking our friend for joining us on what ended up being a very vigorous, satisfying bike ride.
This morning’s ride was fun! It was also my 37th day-in-a-row cycling. On top of that, It was an ideal way to zap that Monday morning, dailymile.com zero.
