20191208 cycling

This week was cold! A year ago, I might not have ridden or maybe stayed in the garage on my rollers. But I braved the cold and got out for at least one loop each day. Then I had a big ride on Sunday.

Monday
Start: Mostly Cloudy, 68°F, Feels like 69°F, Humidity 83%, Wind 7mph from W

Cold! I can't believe I even went out. It was only tolerable because there was no wind.
Threw my chain on CLR. Ugh Apple Watch kept beeping. What? After the 6th or 7th time, I finally saw that it was creating segments. My jacket must have been triggering it.

Since Ihave committed to ride my age next month, I figured I should ride longer today.
I rode down to Flatwoods and rode 4 loops. My bum was really protesting after 30 miles. Really, that was the only part of me that was fatigued.

Cold. At least there was no wind.
I wore my rain jacket instead of Ryan's vest. It worked well and my arms stayed warm. My legs and hands were cold despite being covered.
I love how smooth and fast my bike is riding.

Windy. Amazing what new gears and chain can do for cycling performance. In the past, I was lucky to average 12 mph. Today I did 13 mph.
Three loops. I threw my chain switching into the big crank. Lots of people out walking and biking. Saw some cows.

I wanted to try for 40 miles but maybe not. My stomach was growling.
I finished three loops and went to Panera for lunch. I stopped at Oliver's. Ryan needs a new helmet and they are on sale. They only had a black one in stock and Ryan requested Navy Blue. They ordered it and I paid cash.
The ride home was OK except for throwing the chain off just north of Cross Creek. I really need to learn how to adjust it.
I wasn't sure if I made my November Apple Watch Challenge but ai soon got the notification that I did. Yes. 35.97 miles

Klimat.app is cool but it doesn't report wind gusts. In this case, the gusts were reported at 17-19 mph. That almost stops you in your tracks when it is against you.
I rode to Flatwoods and did three loops because I knew the ride back would be easy. The wind and the clouds kept the temperature lower which is good because I ran out of @skratchlabs hydration mix. Luckily, I still have @honeystinger Cherry Cola Gels. I wish they made them without caffeine since eating them in the afternoon tends to mess up my sleep.
The ride home was great with the tailwinds and I average 14.3 mph during that portion.

A better week for riding. There was only one cold morning that resulted in a shorter ride. I finished up the Coffeeneuring Challenge. I enjoyed the cocoa and will probably do it next year.

Wore my new Cresta wool base layer. A little itchy but the warmth is so worth it. As I worked up a sweat, my arms felt cooler but not cold as they did with my Columbia tops. Still, it was too cold and I only did one loop.

Windy. Rode BBD to Flatwoods. Not many people on the trail. Rode in the big gear.
Two loops around Flatwoods.
Back up BBD. Wind was behind me and helping me along. Starbucks. They were out of Peppermint Hot Cocoa. Opted for Salted Caramel.
Four miles to home.

Windy
Rode down to BBD.
Chain slipping like crazy. Stopped at the light to cross. Chain dropped. Robbie was at Flatwoods and saw me. He has a new bike. I rode two loops. It I stayed in a higher gear, I was mostly OK. Could not make it up the little hill. Went to Oliver's to see what it was going to cost me. Randy was there and said I could pay the $70 later. They fixed it and even tried my rear wheel some. Debating if I should go to Starbucks.
I can't seem to get through a Coffeeneuring challenge without having to get something fixed on my bike.
I went to Starbucks for one last Peppermint Hot Cocoa.
The ride how was smooth and fast despite the NW wind.

Chilly. Wore my old pedal pushers. The padding bunches up when I move around. I ordered a new smaller pair but they are not here yet. Wore my new fleece from Duluth Trading. It was warm enough. My long sleeved Columbia shirt doesn't wick well. I would like to get a wool base layer.

Cold!

Put new iPhone mount on my bike. It is big and clunky and stiff to use. But it works and wasn't expensive.
I saw wild turkeys along Wiregrass Ranch Blvd.
Rode up to SR54 back down to SR56 to @Starbucks. Toasted White Chocolate Cocoa. Tastes burnt. Not good.

Ride home was good with tailwind but my toes were getting cold. Sandals just don't cut it below 60°.
@ClifBar Caramel Toffee with Sea Salt for "recovery."

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.

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.

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.

I had a good week of riding. I did 15 miles each day before work. Saturday wasn’t good at all because I went drinking on Friday and was too tired to ride before I had to be at work at 6. I got in a short ride after dinner just to close that ring.

The wind is only going to get stronger but I am going to Flatwoods anyway.
Whole Foods electrolyte mix is awful. It tastes like Flinstone chewable vitamins from the 70s. Never again.
Asshole just rode his bike in the shelter to fill up his water bottle. Couldn't be bother to get off his bike.
A little rain but it was over quickly.
