elhoffRode a new route today: Bike paths to the south end of campus; Old Davis Road south; Tremont Road west to 80 frontage road; over 80 at the Pedrick Road overpass (scary trucks!); Seivers Road west; Stevenson Bridge Road north; Russell Blvd east back to campus; bike paths home. I think I had a head wind in three out of four directions, WTF? Little to no shoulder on any of these roads, but the few cars and trucks I came across gave a wide berth and were very polite. These roads are straight, fairly level, and in pretty good shape. Not too hard to cruise along at 16-17 MPH. The Stevenson Bridge Road segment was the hardest: slight uphill, slight head wind, 13 miles into the ride.
Final stats:
24 miles
14.2 MPH average
some good riding company met along the route
I think I'm going to be sore tomorrow, but feeling pretty good right now.
The sidewalls of my tires are starting to crack pretty bad. Need to get new tires (or a new bike) before I do this many more times.
