Today’s bike ride followed the “New Caney – Gene Campbell Road” route for a total of 36.79 miles<\/strong>. I used a different set of streets to exit Woodridge Forest. Yesterday I saw a street that was under construction before I left for vacation was now open with new stop signs. On today’s bike ride I took the new streets and exited Woodridge Forest at the corner of Adams St. and Kelly Rd. Previously I bicycled on Adams St. from Woodridge Forest to Kelly Rd. On these streets I saw several new houses near completion that I couldn’t see from Adams St. This route also skips the houses where dogs chased me before but not on every bike ride.<\/p>\n

Weather for the bike ride warmed up from Wednesday. 84 degrees at the 11:46 start and 90 degrees at the 2:40 finish. Lots more clouds but the sun did break through sometimes. With this warmth I wore a short sleeve jersey and sunscreen. Wind challenged me when ever I rode south: 13 mph with 22 mph gusts.<\/p>\n

A short break at the FM 1314 Stripes station allowed me time to eat a package of snack crackers and refill my water bottle. This was 25.2 miles into the bike ride. Earlier I made a quick stop at the Shell station just east of Gene Campbell Road to drink some water and let my legs recover for the stretch home. When I drank water from my bottle I experienced a “brain freeze” for the first time in many years. It hurt and I took big gulps of warm air trying to warm the roof of my mouth. After a minute or so the brain freeze left and I rode back onto FM 1314.<\/p>\n

New Caney ISD schools dismissed for the summer today around 11:30AM so traffic was not a problem when I pass by.<\/p>\n

Saturday’s weather is bicycling friendly and I plan on taking advantage of it.<\/p>\n
