Goodness, Those Clouds Are Dark

Texbiker.net Posted on by

A delayed start for today’s bike ride. Light rain, not enough to register on my home weather station, happened as I ate breakfast. While I waited for the streets to dry off a little I did some yard work pulling up plants. I finished the plant removal and got ready to ride. I rolled my Lynskey Helix bike out of the driveway at 10:45 AM intending on riding my “New Caney – Tavola – Valley Ranch” route. But as I rode through Woodridge Forest on the way to US59/I-69 the sky to the east and south turned dark gray, you can see it in the video. I made an executive decision even though I’m not an executive to shorten the ride to “Kingwood Streets” to get back home to avoid the rain.

Making a loop through Brooklyn Trails I rode back to the south and east pedaling hard to beat the rain. I crossed Northpark Drive after a short wait at the traffic light, took the first street to the left from Hidden Pines to ride on the greenbelt trail and avoid the traffic along Northpark Drive. That was a good choice but after I rode across Woodland Hills Drive I made a bad decision to continue on the greenbelt trail rather than beside Northpark Drive. Not long after I heard the rain hitting the leaves on the trees overhead, stopped my bike and turned around. I looked for some shelter at the school but didn’t see any so I rode fast to the Speedy Stop store and went under the pump canopy to wait for the rain to stop. It didn’t last long but it soaked the streets. Steam rose from the wet concrete and I rode on home since the rain moved north where I originally was head. I finished the ride at 11:52 AM after biking 12.25 miles. Not as far as I planned but better than 0 miles.

Weather conditions: start 84 (humidity 81%, dew point 77), overcast, wind SE 12 mph; finish 78 (humidity 96%, dew point 77), overcast/light rain, wind SE 8 mph.
