Wind. Full loop.
Loose gravel on Beardsley. It didn't affect the ride but when I got home I was covered in the small black bits. It was in my shoes and stuck to my clothes. Then it was all over the bathroom.
9.02 miles

Friday
Start: Partly Cloudy, 62°F, Feels like 63°F, Humidity 99%, Wind 8mph from NNE

The gravel on Beardsley makes it impractical to ride. (I think it is bitumen because it sticks to clothing and skin)
I decided to continue along Mansfield to WRB but only if the light was green. It was a stupid if because the light only changes for requests. But there was no traffic so I crossed SR56 and rode to the closed section and back. I have never ridden this section in the dark.

I almost forgot to ride.
I walked this morning because it was raining. My weather app said it was light to medium but it was more like drizzle. But I was dressed for walking.
After work, I started doing some puzzles and other stuff until Ryan started nagging me and wouldn't stop until I got up. I am glad that he reminded me but he couldn't have stopped then. Sigh.
Anyway, quick ride to Morningside and back.

I had to pump up his tires because he hasn't ridden in over two years. For some reason, the hand pump wouldn't work so I used the car inflator.
Andy prefers the sidewalk when we get to busy roads. We rode CLR to Mansfield to Kinnan. I stopped and asked him if he wanted to turn around or continue. He opted for turning around.

Overcast. Windy.
Rode Mansfield to SR56
I rode on the sidewalk west of BBD. No one was on it
Waiting for the light to cross the ramp takes forever. I was lucky when a gap long enough formed for me to go ahead.
No easy way to bike into the outlet mall.
I locked my bike up to the railing around the Starbucks patio.
Chestnut Praline Crème Steamer and marshmallow bar.
Getting out of the outlet mall was a little easier. The ride over I75 was a struggle but ai made it without an incident.
I cut through Northwood Palms just to change up the route. I was also hoping that the wind would be weaker along the narrower road.

West wind. I just wish it wasn't so strong.
Rode CLR to Cypress Creek to SR54/56.
It wasn't fun going over the interstate. I haven't done this in a year or more. Phew.
Starbucks
Tall Creme Brûlée steamer and rice treat.
No ornaments here. Does any store get them anymore?
I am not looking forward to crossing I75 at SR56. I have never done it on a bike. But the construction is done so the paths should be safe.
Ugh. Had to go back. They gave me coffee. Blech. The second one is OK but no topping. Sigh.
The ride back was better than I had hoped. I took the sidewalk not trusting the drivers along SR56. The ways isn't very clear but I had to cross SR56 twice when crossing I75.
The worst part was crossing BBD when no one follows the NO TURN sign while I am trying to use the crosswalk.
14.10 miles

Quick ride to catch up.
Rode CLR to Target.
Locked up my bike
Line and cannot order ahead.
Peppermint hot cocoa but no whipped cream! They are out!
Also got the Madeline cookies since they have fewer calories than the rice treat.
I don't think I have ever had madeleines before. I expected butter or shortbread cookies but they are mini sponge cakes. While I was enjoying the drink and cakes, I read a recipe to bake them. Maybe, someday.
A tall is too much. Or maybe it was the cow's milk. It sat heavy in my stomach. I am glad it was a short ride back.
