400 Miles: Monday

Daily Goal: 70 miles
Weekly Goal: 400 miles

Today was a great day to bike! The weather was in the upper 50's but the sun made it feel warmer. I tried a new route - Lakeway up 620 to Anderson Mill and through neighborhood roads out to Parmer for an "out and back". Aside from the half mile "death sprint" on Anderson Mill due to single lanes and construction, it was a good route.

A few comments along the way:
  • I left home twice - I turned around after 2 miles to go put on warmer clothes and to get some gloves. Glad I did as it got cold when the sun was setting upon my return home!
  • My powertap quit working after 43 miles.
  • I'd like to say "thank you" to the other cyclist on Parmer who offered assistance as I just stood there on the shoulder. I was actually waiting for him to pass so I could go to the bathroom in the ditch!
  • A hand gesture right back at the dude driving the brown pickup truck. Hey man...I turned into the driveway because I was just trying to get out of YOUR way so don't you honk at ME!
  • Disco and dance music always make a good bike ride even better.
