What a great day to be outside. Steve and I decided at work yesterday to go for a ride today. Steve is still recovering from his first marathon, but he couldn't resist the temptation to take advantage of the beautiful weather. Speaking of the weather, it couldn't have been more perfect. I was a bit worried about the cold temperature when we took off, but I ended up with the perfect amount of clothes for the ride.
We also decided to try a different route. On West Lake Houston Parkway near Beltway 8 we found a fuel station to park. From there we rode to Duessin Park, then Eisenhower Park, and finally we turned around near the end of Sheldon Road. By East Houston standards, this route had a few rolling hills.
The ride went well and I feel like we maintained a respectable effort the entire time.
Road Bike:
19.88 miles
1:14:52
15.93 mph
We worked our tails off during the final miles in an attempt to get our average speed above 16 mph. We rode 19-20 mph for the last two miles, but simply ran out of road.
At home I did an Upper body workout.
