The time change didn’t affect my riding. I was up early and used to the dark. I got in a second long ride on the weekend because I didn’t have to work and the weather cooperated. A good week.

Windy! Gusts were 13-15 mph.
Rode out SR56 to 301 and back to MPB. Then up to SR54. Construction on SR54 so no shoulder. One car honked just as he passed me. Asshole. @Starbucks for Peppermint Hot Cocoa. Sad looking drink. Barely any whipped cream.
Ride home was nice with the tailwinds except I turned East on Chancey and hate to push through it. @RipVanWafels Snickerdoodle Protein for my treat. This was drier than their other wafels.

Sun was warm. Breezy.
Rode SR56 to 301 and back to BBD. Stopped at Starbucks for Peppermint Hot Cocoa.
Had to wait too long for it but they apologized and gave me extra whip.
Rode home against the wind. Still, a nice ride.

Rode up to Zephyrhills to Starbucks. Windy but not hot. Salted Caramel Hot Cocoa. Very good.
I rode back home via Eiland. They have resurfaced it and it is very nice. There is one spot where there is no shoulder but it didn't last long and there were no cars at that point. It got rough at SR54. They are widening the intersection and the lanes are narrow during construction. I rode down Morris Bridge to SR56. There is no shoulder along Morris Bridge. But traffic was OK. The tailwind was nice and I moved into the big gears.
With the cooler weather, I didn't even go through 2 water bottle even though I made myself drink every three miles. I only had one stop on the way home for a traffic light.
@ClifBar Caramel Toffee with Sea Salt when I got home. =

Took BBD to Flatwoods and took the trail that goes along I75 to Morris Bridge. Not paved but fine for my fat tires. No signs to get off the path before the chained gate. But the gap was wide enough to get through. Fletcher is bumpy as hell.
Starbucks White hot cocoa. Meh. I forgot to change the size and the default is Grande. Not as sweet as I expected. And a bit bitter which is odd considering there is supposed to be not actual chocolate.
I went the long way home but it didn't add many miles to my ride. The tailwind was great and I shifted into the big gear and made up for the winds on the way out. I only had to stop for two lights on the way home. 26.20 miles

Trying to find the best route to take advantage of the prevailing wind, and to get in a fair amount of miles, and avoid construction. I ended up going up to SR54 then back down to SR56 to the Starbucks at Collier. I ordered a Salted d Caramel Cocoa from the Starbucks app.
Worst Starbucks ever. I placed a mobile order and had to ask for it. The cocoa wasn't even hot and the whipped cream was completely melted. They take care of the cars first.
The ride back was nice with some tailwind. Some asshole nearly hit me as I rode on the far edge of the wide shoulder. I felt the car go by and he was well over the line. Asshole. Also annoying were all the gnats. I had to keep my mouth shut. Yuck.
My reward was a @ClifBar Spiced Pumpkin Pie. Yum.

This wasn’t a very good week for riding. I am still only riding 9 miles before work so I can walk to earn the Apple Watch Monthly Challenge. And my hopes to make up some miles with a big ride on Saturday we’re dashed when the request to work OT came. I only got in 16 miles before I had to go in at 8 am. (It turns out that I got my work done in three hours and would have been better off going in from 6-9.)
I couldn’t ride much on Sunday either because it was Andy’s turn for a haircut. I only ended up with 80 miles for the week. I haven’t ridden so few miles since last year! Oh well. At least I can ride, right?

I had a good week even though I didn’t make 100 miles. My weekdays start early so I only get in 9 miles. I can ride long on Saturday which is nice. But I am expected to go to church on Sundays so I ride in the dark to avoid the heat. Still, I feel good. I like Klimat.app, when it works. It doesn’t always sync.

I knew the wind was going to get stronger but I enjoyed riding in Flatwoods so much last week that I went back today. It was windy at times but I kept pushing myself to ride a little harder. The headwind on the way home sucked but it was worth it.

I ran out of SkratchLabs Hydration Mix so I used some of the single use packs I had to try out. I had Untapped MapleAid in Ginger and Lemon ea. I had the ginger first. It was OK. The Ginger was noticeable when it hit the back of my throat. I did not like the Lemon Tea at all. The only good thing about them was the lack of sour taste in my mouth at the end of the ride.
Trout Creek still flows over the trail some but I rode through it. I was going fast so I lifted my feet so I wouldn't have dripping socks.
I rode the loop three times. Until last week, I had never ridden it more than once during each trip. I like watching the fast bikes go past. Bikes that cost $5000 or more and the riders couldn't spend another $150 to get a proper fit.

I saw a black snake crossing the trail. I scared it as I rode past. Ick.
I had a loop in my head. It is from a Josh Ritter song, Girl in the War, "They sparkle, bubble over and, in the morning, all you got is rain" It just kept looping over and over. Sigh.

My goal was to go 20 miles just to get to 100 miles for the week. At mile 15, I realized 3 miles doesn't matter and I rode home after 2 laps.

A few less miles this week as I put more emphasis on walking. I can’t help doing what the Apple Watch says so I can earn another badge.

Thought about trying three loops. Decided to ride along SR56 to US301 and came back. My stomach was growling! The tailwind on MPB was really nice.
@Larabar is OK for a date bar. But I miss the @Lunabar crunch.

I didn't plan on going to Flatwoods until I got closer to BBD. Then I crossed it and went south. It was a good ride. I did the loop twice and came home. Trout Creek still over the trail but the Clay Gully has receded.
@ClifBar Caramel Toffee Sea Salt for "recovery."
