Starting today’s bike ride at 12:25 PM put me in the heat of the day. Summer like temperatures popped up in the forecast and 93 degrees meant no need for a long sleeve jersey bicycling the “Atascocita – Walden – Huffman” route. I rode my Blue Norcross AL bike for a total of 31.41 miles<\/strong> boosting May to 276.27 miles<\/strong>, 24 miles away from my goal. I pedaled hard on the ride due to the strong SE wind (15 mph with 25 mph gusts) until I turned left onto FM 2100 bicycling to Huffman where I took a 15 minute break to fill my water bottle and rest before heading west for the remaining 11+ miles.<\/p>\n

Mostly cloudy skies held the sun at bay but not the heat. If it stays like this I will start wearing wrist bands to hold the sweat back from my gloves.<\/p>\n

Knobby tires on the Blue Norcross AL add a whirling sound to the ride but raises the tire above the pavement about 1\/4″ maybe reducing the chance for a flat as I bike on the debris filled shoulder on FM 1960. The causeway over Lake Houston seems to be a magnet for all kinds of trash. No flats today.<\/p>\n

Many U. S. flags out along the route as Memorial Day is tomorrow.<\/p>\n

More heat tomorrow but since the Giro d’Italia is over I may start the ride earlier in the day.<\/p>\n

Two weeks ago today I was biking in the Florida Keys, Key Largo to Marathon.<\/p>\n
