It’s been several days since my last bike ride. Monday I put the Jeep Wrangler in the shop and that took a bunch of time. Yesterday the weather was dreary and it was election day but today I elected to go for a bike ride on the “Atascocita – Walden – Huffman” route event though it was overcast and 73 degrees. I bundled up some with a long sleeve jersey under a short sleeve one in case the wind was cooler than I expected. That was a good move and I was comfortable the whole ride whether I rode into the wind or had a tailwind. I started the ride at 11:36 and finished at 1:51. I biked a total of 31.61 miles<\/strong> which puts me at 52% of my 250 mile goal for the month.<\/p>\n

Since it was cooler my stop at the Huffman Chevron lasted about5 minutes, long enough to eat a Kashi Trail Mix bar and drink some water. My Elemnt screen when I stopped at the Chevron and the weather too.<\/p>\n

I rode back onto FM1960 west at 1:02 and with the help of the NE wind I set a good pace. My average speed increased from 14.7 mph at the Chevron station to 15.1 mph by the time I turned onto Atascocita Shores Drive on the west side of Lake Houston. I pushed this up to 15.2 mph when I reached Kingwood but it dropped to 14.9 mph by the time I got to the finish point.<\/p>\n

Nice to get back on the bike. I did ride my Motobecane 700HT MTB a couple of times to run errands but I didn’t use my Elemnt computer to track them.<\/p>\n

It is supposed to be partly cloudy tomorrow and about the same temperature and I plan on biking.<\/p>\n
