For the first ride since February 21st I did not have a flat on my Cervelo Caledonia. Back then I ran over a sharp rock cutting through the tire and the tube. The four previous rides to today each had one or more flats when the adhesive patch didn’t stick. On my last ride I replaced the rear tube and the ride today went without a hitch. The began at 11:18 AM as I set off on my Cervelo Caledonia following the Atascocita – Walden – Spanish Cove Drive route. This was the fifth time on this route in 2024. The 36.43 miles was close to the same distance as the other four rides. The wind was light and the temperature 80 and above by the time I finished at 2:04 PM. I’m making progress towards the 680 mile goal for March with 155.5 miles so far.
Weather: Start 80 degrees, humidity 68%, dew point 68.8, mostly cloudy, wind W 6 mph; Finish 85 degrees, humidity 57%, dew point 67.9, partly cloudy, wind calm.

What’s up guys! Back in the saddle of the enduro bike for 2024! Not too rusty for a first race of enduro/downhill at the new Station mtb park! Happy with the result, hoping for future improvements!
Pine pollen is turning the road a yellow green and when the bike tires get damp they turn the same color. The streets were damp when I started today’s bike ride at 11:43 AM from an earlier light rain. I rode my Canyon Endurace CF 7 bike heading north on the New Caney – Roman Forest Blvd – Oakhurst route for the second time this year. As I rode through Hunters Ridge Village, Elm Grove Village, Sherwood Trails Village, and Woodridge Forest I wondered if I would make it to Roman Forest Blvd. because of the patches of light rain I went through. When I reached Brooklyn Trails the clouds behind turned lighter and I didn’t ride in any more rain. The SE wind increased from 13 mph to 14 mph with 24 mph gusts during the ride until I finished at 2:23 PM. That explained the hard pedaling on the way back to Kingwood. It was warm enough for a long sleeve poly T-shirt under a short sleeve jersey. I rode twice on the Strava KPHS sprint segment to build up my Local Legend stats. For some reason this segment is near and dear to me. I have other Strava Local Legend segments that I don’t ride extra times.
