I quite surprised myself by setting a new record today!

When I got back from my ride, I selected Save Ride on my cyclocomputer, as usual. Up popped a screen that said, New Record! Fastest 40K!

I wasn\’t trying to set any records; and in fact I got slower during the return leg of my ride. There was enough of a wind for me to feel it; and naturally that provoked me to reduce my speed. So that message on the Garmin screen was totally unexpected.

Today I tried a new ride food:

Think! Lemon Delight

Think! Lemon Delight is, of course, a bit tangy; and that\’s a nice change from most bars that I use as on-bike food. Today it\’s cool enough that the coating on my protein bars didn\’t get half-melted😊; and I say it\’s about time!

In fact, at 7:00 am it was just 70 degrees; and I considered using arm warmers. But the forecast showed that it was going to warm up quickly; so I went out in short sleeves.

No unusual sightings today, unless you want to count all the roofs that are still covered in blue tarps. I didn\’t see an eagle; or a bluebird. I did see some critter that I think was a coyote; but I never before saw a coyote that was sitting down!
