Needing 41 miles to reach 500 for the month I selected the &#8220;Kingwood &#8211; East River Dr &#8211; Kingwood&#8221; route to the north past Splendora. I ended up biking <strong>41.1 miles<\/strong>, just enough to hit 500 for the month so far.<\/p>\n<p>As expected weather for the ride was warm but not blazing hot, saved that for later today. It was 88 at the start and 91 when I finished at 1:58 pm. Mostly cloudy sky with some sun which probably accounts for the slightly lower temperature. The calm wind meant I had to provide the cooling action by moving through the air. Speaking of air, I aired up the tires (110 psi) before the bike ride and could feel the difference when I rode over a large crack or bump plus the rolling resistance was lower.<\/p>\n<p>On the ride north as I approached Splendora my stomach started to feel queasy. Not sure what the problem was but I kept riding to East River Drive and then made the u-turn back to the south. I drank water and that seemed to help some. I stopped at the Valero station at SH 242 and I-69\/US59 for a short rest, refilled my water bottle after I figured out the fancy drink machine and drank more water. My stomach calmed down a little more and I headed south.<\/p>\n<p>The next stop was at the Valero station at Northpark Drive and I-69\/US59. I refilled my water bottle and sat outside cooling some. Then I remembered the Clif bar I brought with and ate it. This helped my stomach a lot and I was okay the rest of the bike ride. Upset stomach does not help the bike ride. This is the first time I had this problem in several years. Maybe I should have ate more before the ride?<\/p>\n<h3>Link to <a href=\"https:\/\/ridewithgps.com\/trips\/16137420\">RideWithGPS.com<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/1088350359\/embed\/0c67994f63e8d54f0e71217ac4cffc70ea0ee89d\" width=\"590\" height=\"405\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I tried to leave before 10 am but due to fixing problems with paying bills I didn&#8217;t start until 10:30.
