Strava and Taylor Phinney are challenging us bikers to cycle for 31 hours and 51 minutes from March 2nd, 2013 to March 17th, 2013. Pace matters not, it’s only a time-in-the-saddle challenge. As slow as I am, this challenge should not be a problem. I’m already 3% into my goal of 32 hours.
Nobody within my cycling group had plans on riding today, so I suited up earlier this morning and did a short, solo ride around our neighborhood, never once exceeding 17 mph on the residential streets and sidewalks.
The average temperature for this abbreviated ride was 55F with a steady wind from the north at 17 mph. That’s a bit chilly for this region. To be honest, though, I loved the chill. And the wind and cold never breached my oversized, orange sweat shirt. And no, I did not wear tights, only a black pair of cycling shorts.
Black and orange, the same color as my 2011 Felt Z6 Road Bike!
