Other than setting a new PR on Strava’s “Salute the Flag” segment, which is a one-mile straight shot alongFlamingo Road, today’s ride was typical of most of our weekday rides.
For anyone that is interested in knowing, the segment acquired its name because of a huge American flag that flies just east of the service road. Today I thought it wise not take my hands off the handlebar to pay tribute to Old Glory.
My average speed for the segment was 23.1 mph. Average speed for the entire half metric century was 13.2, but that included four and a half miles of sidewalk riding at 8 mph.
We had one individual that discovered a very slow leak in his rear tire. Instead of patching or changing the tube while on the road, we stopped at one of our LBS for a quick tube change.
The weather was beautiful this morning, starting out with the temp at 57F and ending the ride when the temp was at 71F. Our forecasted high for the day is 76F.
