The weatherman came through again with nice bike ride weather: partly cloudy sky, 75 degrees (at the end of the ride) and a SW wind of 5 to 8 mph. When I finished the ride the wind had shifted to the NW as predicted for the incoming cool weather. I started the bike ride a noon on the “Atascocita – Walden – Huffman” route for the first time this year. Adding a few side streets I rode 33.18 miles<\/strong>, moving January to 95.24 miles<\/strong> or 32% of my goal for the month. With the temperature set to drop in the 40’s and 50’s for the next few days I will probably not be on the bike.<\/p>\n

When I rode past the Church on The Lake on Fairlake Drive there was a group of cyclists standing behind some cars in the parking lot. I waved and they waved back. I don’t know if they were waiting to ride or finished. This is a favorite gathering spot for bikers that don’t want to ride across Lake Houston on FM1960.<\/p>\n

No rest stop today. I rode by the Huffman Chevron but I wanted to get back home before the wind shift rolled through with cooler temperatures. My wardrobe today: shorts, thermal long sleeve jersey with a short sleeve jersey over that. I was comfortable and the wind had some chill to it especially in the shade. I finished cycling at 2:23. I thought schools were back in session but the Humble ISD were still out so no traffic when I passed schools.<\/p>\n
