While I am a big fan of riding as early as possible, in the winter in Texas there are on usually two distinct weather days. The morning can be very chilly, at 32 degrees, and the afternoon can be a pleasure, at 60 degrees. My ride on Saturday proved that waiting for the rise in temperature is well worth it. It was about 60 when I started out for an absolutely delightful 2 hours and 30 minute ride. I saw a lot of cyclists out there who had the same idea as I did, including one group of 6 that I joined briefly when we found ourselves waiting at a train crossing. I drafted them for 1/2 mile but they were booking at a 22 mph clip, up a light incline, and that's not a pace I can sustain.
But the afternoon was a delight, and I look forward to a repeat on Sunday.
