I watched the Giro d’ Italia Prologue for about 2 hours and then got ready for today’s bike ride. By then the temperature was in the upper 70’s letting me leave the long sleeve jersey at home. I’ll finish the Prologue after today’s bike Ride.
Wheels down and rolling at 9:12 AM as the Canyon Endurace CF SLX bike and I rode off following the “Atascocita – FM 2100 – Walden” route. I rode the longer lead out to begin the ride pushing the ride to 33.13 miles, a couple miles longer than usual. This increased the week’s total to 197.81 miles and May to 255.11 miles. I should ride tomorrow to make it a 200 mile week. I finished the ride at 11:54 AM.
One of the things I look forward to on Saturday is seeing other cyclists. I saw several as you can see in the video. I might’ve seen more if I started earlier. Maybe next Saturday.
Weather: start 77 (79% humidity, 70 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind SE 7 mph; finish 83 (64% humidity, 69.3 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind S 10 mph gusts 23 mph. I knew the wind had strengthened when I rode east over Lake Houston and south on Fairlake Lane as the Canyon bike moved with the gusts.

One of the world’s top gravel cyclists, Colin Strickland, teamed up with Red Bull to tell the story about the rise in gravel cycling, why it’s continuing to grow and how he is training his body to reach a goal that no other athlete has ever accomplished – win the prestigious 200-mile Unbound Gravel racing competition in back-to-back efforts. Following an evaluation by the team at Red Bull’s Athletic Performance Center, Strickland put his body through the ultimate physical stress test on West Texas’ “Road To Nowhere.†With gravel bike in tow, he hit the road for over 100 miles in 98-degree heat, against 25mph winds and above 8,000 feet of elevation to optimize his athletic performance in preparation for the upcoming competition.

After three 41+ mile long bike rides this week I backed off slightly on today’s bike ride going 36.03 miles. Starting at 10:07 AM I rode my Lynskey R300 bike on what I call the”New Caney – Tavola – Valley Ranch” route. The week now totals 164.68 miles positioning me for a 200+ mile week with 2 biking days left. May totals 221.98 miles towards my 660 mile goal. I finished at 1:14 PM.
Another picture perfect biking day with sunny weather and temperatures in the low 80’s. Starting and ending weather conditions: start 79 (53% humidity, 60.5 dew point), fair, wind SE 3 mph; finish 84 (37% humidity, 54.9 dew point), fair, wind E 8 mph. Light wind meant my legs had an opportunity to not be stressed as much.
A different video today showcasing Tavola flowers and the Lynskey R300. I reached Pat’s Donuts in time for an apple fritter. Tasted great.

City Council voted Thursday to transfer operation of the city’s bike-share program to Wisconsin-based BCycle. The program was formerly operated by the nonprofit organization San Antonio Bike Share, but the group ran out of funding to support the bicycle-sharing program after Steward Health Care finished paying its sponsorship commitment in early 2020.
San Antonio Bike Share had established 65 docking stations and 650 bikes across the city as of January 2020. Currently, members of the bike-share program pay $11 for a day pass, $22 for a monthly pass, $100 for an annual pass, or $2.25 for every 30 minutes. Non-members can use the …
