Throughout the past week, I watched the weekend forecast gradually deteriorate with each passing day. Friday was spectacular, with sunny skies and near record temperatures in the mid 80s. Unfortunately, I had to leave town that afternoon for a planetarium meeting. Apparently, I didn't miss much on Saturday, with rainy conditions off and on all day.
At first, Sunday didn't look much better; in fact, it started off worse, with chilly temperatures and frequent thunder showers. By mid-day, however, a warm front brought improving conditions. The threat of rain finally ended by mid-afternoon, when I began the ride that I didn't think I would get this weekend.
Temperatures during my 1 hour, 45 minute ride were in the mid 70s with moderate southerly breezes. I rode 22.7 miles, and my average speed was just shy of 13 mph. This is my fastest average speed so far this season, which is a sure sign that my body is beginning to adapt to the rhythm of cycling. This is a very good sign indeed!
