Did I think yesterday was cold? Not so fast. Last night it got colder than yesterday was! At least the wind is far less; but even so, I waited until late morning to ride. It still felt chilly, though.

Today I rode leisurely for about 12 minutes; then began working to push the pace: 2.5 minutes hard + 1.5 minutes easy. With that odd timing, it was hard to keep track of what I was doing!

The weather was clear; and if yesterday was cold, tomorrow will be almost hot: up to 75 degrees! The wind will strengthen again, too. I was considering putting in a 20-miler tomorrow; but I’d better do it early.

Do It Early 🌅

The wind tomorrow will probably start to strengthen by mid-morning; so if I want to ride long — well, 20 miles, anyway — and beat that wind home, I need to do it early.

I’ll work on maintaining a steady pace. It’s better not to do intense work every day.

For a longer ride, I use the Camel-Bak; and take along electrolyte drink. In fact, I could have used some electrolyte drink today. 

It’s hard to determine hydration needs when the weather is so changeable. Yesterday was cold; tomorrow will be warm; and today it’s in between. So what to do?

ABOUT ME

I began this website primarily as a way to present the story of how I accomplished a century ride on an adult tricycle. Other riders of adult trikes might want to know whether it’s possible. It sure is! You can read all about it in My Story.

I live in New Orleans; and  retired in January 2023. More time for cycling!
