Traffic wasn't too bad.
I feel like most cars give me wide birth because of my wide bike.
I stopped at Starbucks. I got a Peppermint Crème with chocolate curls. And a chocolate croissant. (Why does the food always come so early? It is no longer warm by the time I get my drink.)
Drinks wasn't very creamy. And no extra whip.
End: Mostly sunny, 75°F, Feels like 80°F, Humidity 87%, Wind 8 -12 mph from NNE

Windy. I knew I couldn't get 2 rides on my battery so I didn't even try to ride in Tour. I went straight to Auto and enjoyed the ride.

Cold and windy!
I rode in Auto. A year ago, I would have scrimped and just don't a short ride. I did the whole 16 miles because of the Apple Watch November challenge.
But riding in that mode really ate up the battery. It was full when I started and down to 48% when I finished.

A litter warmer. I only had 48% battery so I tried to save it and ride in Tour. Once I realized I had enough power, I moved up to Auto.

Coffeeneuring #9
Start: Sunny, 60°F, Feels like 59°F, Humidity 86%, Wind 9 (21) mph from N
I rode up to Zephyrhills again.
It was cool and windy but the sun felt good.
There is more construction along SR56. The sidewalk is supposed to be closed but the barricades were small enough to bike around.
I rode up US301. There is no more construction but the should is just wide enough.
I stopped at Hole in One Donuts to take a photo of the sign. The Scrubs store has been replaced by a cannabis shop. Funny that you can get high then get donuts.
A man approached me. He said he sees me every morning riding through Meadow Pointe. I might see him but the runners are in the dark and unrecognizable.
Starbucks
When I clicked the app, I saw there is another shop open on Curley. I might check it out tomorrow.
Holiday drinks are here. The only ornaments are cold cup keychains. Meh
Service is slow for the drinks.
I ordered extra topping and whipped cream for my Chestnut Praline Crème. The topping was too heavy and sank. Drink was so good.
I forgot to order iced tea.
End: Sunny, 71°F, Feels like 72°F, Humidity 54%, Wind 10 (21) mph from NNE
I rode in Eco and Tour until I felt like I had enough battery to boost to Auto.
I rode back via SR54 to Foxwoods to Meadow Pointe.
The tailwind was great.
33.6 miles
15.3 mph
Sunday
Start: Sunny, 64°F, Feels like 63°F, Humidity 44%, Wind 9 (16) mph from N
Cool and windy.
I rode through Meadow Pointe to Chapel Crossings. I turned back at the dead and went to Curley Rd. Curley is narrow but there wasn’t much traffic on Sunday morning.
The new Starbucks is large and busy.
Drinks are slow again.
Really slow. 30 minutes behind. WTF
Finally got my drink and it had coffee. I hate coffee, I went back and she fixed.
The croissant was no longer warm.
Mid: Sunny, 73°F, Feels like 71°F, Humidity 28%, Wind 8 (16) mph from N
I rode back Overpass to Boyette to SR55 to WRB. I had a nice tailwind but I stayed in Auto mode. I needed to get home and I wasted enough time at Starbucks.
