The average temperature for my first post-flu bike ride was 58F. Perfect!
After riding solo to the car park for 4.15 miles at an average pace of 8 mph, I joined five of my cycling comrades for a cool, windy ride that ended up averaging 12.8 mph for the entire half-century ride – and half of those miles were directly into an 11 to 15 mph northwest wind.
For the first time this year, I wore black tights underneath my black cycling shorts. It felt that cold! There was no sense in becoming chilled right after recovering from the flu.
For the most part, this morning’s ride was enjoyable. However, the group became seriously fragmented most of the way home. We also had an issue when some riders within the group extended their ride prior to pulling into the coffee shoppe. They did so un-announced.
For the benefit of the group, these issues must be addressed. Enough said!
