09-20-2019 Ride

Solo ride in the morning, I was a little surprise at myself for being able to get up at 5:30 to start riding at 6:00, when it was still dark.  Headed out Ben Zvi and the 44 to the 412, turning left to get to the 461 and the 40.  It was cloudy at the start, although I could feel the humidity.  No real wind to speak of at the start.  I rode to the end of the 44 and then turned onto the 55 to get more miles in.  This road has a little hill that gets steeper at the end, and I took it to the top and then rode downhill past it.  There is a roundabout right before what looked like a security checkpoint, and that's where I turned around to retrace my route.  On the way back, I didn't have to battle the wind, so I think my pace was a little higher than usual.  I felt okay on this ride, but I was really tired later in the day, and my legs were tired.  By the latter part of the ride back, the sun was out a little bit, and it was really humid, more that I remember being affected by it in some time.

It was the first ride with my replacement Fitbit, which I received earlier in the week.  Whoohoo!

Avg speed = 17.5 mph. Total mileage = 52.9 mi
Avg heartrate (Fitbit) = 146 bpm
Total elevation gain = 1290'
