IMO, the best riding is turning errand rides into longer detours. Fri: 21 mile gofast out and back on the dead flat Rio Grande bike path (17.03 and 17.76 mph averages, clock running including several brief stops on both legs). Saturday: 19.23 miles on the Fargo, getting lost in some sandy doubletrack and newly discovered McMansion territory on the way back from what was planned to be a 12 mile rt to a nearby grocery store. Today, 16.XX miles rt to and from church.
Aside: humid today -- 75+% or so and ~ 77F outbound at 9:20 am; ~ 30%s and low 90s return. The WoolyWarm is not as comfortable when the humidity gets above the natural ~15% cutoff. I daresay that plastic jerseys are better in 90F high humidity, given the stink. But for our typical 95F sub 20% (sub 10% is common in the afternoons), wool is the cat's pyjamas.
