I rode Saint Arnold to Kemah and back today. 63 miles, twice over the bridge. The winds were pretty calm, but it was cold. 43 degrees on my bike thermometer most of the ride. I pulled a lot and felt pretty good. Pretty sure I'm prepared for the 100 mile day 1. I hope to get in 120 miles or so each week for the next two weeks, then rest up.
I love this time of year.
