Solo early morning ride while staying in Austin with Ann and Emily, visiting Laura. Borrowed bike via Spinlister.com. I headed through downtown Austin south to get onto Barton Creek Rd, taking it to Rollingwood Dr and riding through a nice neighborhood. Over to Bee Cave Rd, then heading northwest. From mile 3 to about mile 8.5, it was gently uphill, then it was rolling hills. Out to where Bee Cave Rd intersects with Hwy 71, where I turned around and rode back toward Austin by retracing my route. It was significantly cooler than the previous day, staying generally overcast. But it was still very humid, and I was sweating much more than normal. Back to Congress Ave and then up to 7th St, heading east past I-35 before getting onto 6th St to see how it looked in daylight (kinda sleazy). Back to near the hotel, where I packed the bike into the trunk and drove the short distance to the hotel.
Avg speed = 17.0 mph. Total mileage = 32.5 mi
Total elevation gain = 1830'
