Back to Training


Finally back on the bike for a training ride. Weather was clear and warm. Started out at 70 degrees but warmed up to 84 in the afternoon and some good wind in my face up to 15mph on the way back. Wanted a longer ride so I headed out to the Suncoast Trail and back through the Starkey Park Wilderness area. Then on to Tarpon Springs and Palm Harbor via the Pinellas Trail and then to Clearwater Beach and back to home. Got some good saddle time and definitely tested out my water supplies. Total of 78 miles and 5 hours and 43 minutes. Did ok till about 60 miles and decided to take a lunch break. Biked more slowly to Clearwater Beach where I got some ice cream before heading back. Not much elevation gain but hey I'm in Florida.
