I rode the Burleson Honey Tour today. I did the metric century (which was really only 59.4 miles). I’ve ridden all the roads before. I liked the ride and route. Traffic control was good for the closer part of the route. Alvarado and south, you were on your own.

The wind was brutal going out and the hills slowed me coming back. I ended up with a 17.3 mph average, not a great average for me for this route, a reminder that I’m still dragging around an extra five pounds. I rode to and from the start for a total of 72.6 miles. That gives me 195 miles for the week, so not a bad mileage week. I think I’ll battle the wind from the deck of my boat tomorrow, rather than on my bicycle.
