Windier than I expected. I should have gone in the morning. Because of the wind direction, I didn't want to go to the west. I decided to go to the Starbucks on SR54 which is more north. But I headed east against the wind to get in more miles. Normally I would head up MPB to SR54 but there is construction and when I rode it last year, it was not fun. Hopefully I can ride it next fall. I got Salted Caramel again. The his was the best one yet. I am very surprised because this Starbucks tends to be slow and not that good. Maybe it is a different shift as I usually visit Sunday mornings and this is Saturday afternoon. I also got some iced green tea to add to my water bottle even though I don't have a long ride home. I rode back through Seven Oaks. That big building complex is a senior living center. It is rather ugly. The wind back through Meadow Pointe wasn't too bad.
19.31 miles
12.1 mph

Eastern wind but out of places to ride that way. I rode up Mansfield to Chancey to BBD to SR54. I took the MUP along BBD which is so much better than the shoulder. SR54 was OK. I was starting to hit every light but I snuck through at Lexington Oaks when the driver in the left turn lane was too busy on her phone to even hear the drivers behind her honking. Starbucks on SR54 in Lutz. White Hot Chocolate with Toffee Nut Syrup extra whip and caramel drizzle. It was good. A little hot. I got some iced tea to fill up the water bottler. I crossed back over SR56 and rode west to Oak Grove. I rode south to CLR then east to home. Climbing the overpass is never fun but at least it has a decent shoulder. I was glad I got home before noon.
20.95 miles

This week 104 miles
