Cairo again
I meant to go on a ride Friday night, but I was out and about all day running errands and shopping, so I needed sleep. I got up relatively early today, and had plenty of time before going to a cookout to get in 30 miles, Cairo Triangle it is.
Made very zoomy time on the first leg. Discovered this was because a breeze had picked up out of the southwest. This put wind in my face for the remaining two legs. I'd been averaging over 16 mph on that first leg, but ended up much slower for the rest of the ride. Averaged 13.1, which is still respectable (for me).
Hodson's Bay is having its fall sale this weekend, so I stopped in and bought some new tubes, with longer stems (so they're easier to use with my Revolights). One of the guys there recognized me from the CASA challenge, and said he loved the look of the lights. I brought my bike in and showed the Revolights off to the other guys in the store.
I had hoped to dodge rain, but a small front moved through... but it all came down when I was in the store, so the remainder of my ride was dry. I'd have been rained on if I skipped the Hodson's Bay stop.
Miles Ridden: 30.12
Top Speed: 28.0 mph
Average Speed: 13.1
Year to date: 494.4
Goal 1000 miles: 49.4%
