20201018 cycling

This was a good week for riding even though I am still slow. I cut short one ride, on Friday, and that was still 13 miles. My weekend was good despite the wind. I had meant to do two more coffeeneuring rides but forgot my mask on Saturday. I still rode 20 miles so that felt good.

I was planning on doing another coffeeneuring trip but I forgot my mask. So I just rode against the wind to SR56 and US-301 and back. The tailwind was nice but didn't help my speed much. MUP is still closed along SR56 and even some of the bike lane is gone for deceleration lanes.

Windy. A slow ride up SR56 to US301. I rode to Starbucks in Zephyrhills. Only two other people here. I didn't have to wait too long. Hot Cocoa with Toffee Nut Syrup and Caramel drizzle. Pretty good but I burned my tongue. It is not cold enough to enjoy hot cocoa. The ride back was nice with the tailwind. My iPhone ran out of juice and I stopped to plug it in the charger. I got another lower battery warning and I thought it was because the charger hadn't been use in a while so it might not have much juice. But maybe it was a loose cable because my iPhone was charging and lasted the 6 miles until I got home. I tried the Skratch Recovery Mix. I thought I shook it a lot but it was still clumpy. I shocked some more. Nope. I shook it a third time. It was OK and I decided to drink it all but choked on a clump of powder near the end. I am not sure it is worth it. (I felt really good the rest of the day so I think it did its job despite the clumpiness.)
