Was this a SUNday ride?

Today is Sunday, but it wasn\’t exactly sunny. Now and then the sun peeked out; but for most of my ride, it was overcast. For about the last hour it looked more and more like rain; and I\’m glad it didn\’t rain!

I forgot to be sure my Garmin was fully charged (yes, AGAIN — when will I learn to take my own advice?); and it gave me the Low Battery signal when I still had about nine miles to go. After about two more miles, I decided to shut it off. I could estimate my roll time and mileage well enough post-ride. That\’s better than risking losing what data I already have.

On Sundays, when I do a long ride, I usually don\’t worry much about maintaining a set speed. When I\’ve got 20 miles to go against the breeze in order to get back home, it\’s better to work at maintaining a steady pace. Today l stayed on the small ring and worked on keeping a rapid cadence.

Today the temperature was pretty good for riding: mid-50\’s when I started. For next Sunday, I hope for clear skies and no wind. That will be a SUNday ride!
