A pleasant change for August weather for today’s bike ride. The temperature at the 10:47 am start was 84 degrees with 76% humidity so I thought I might need a swimsuit to make my way through all the moisture in the air but I settled for my usual bike clothes. The rain was offshore when I started and byt the time I finished at 1:56 pm it broken up with just patches over the gulf.<\/p>\n

Riding the “New Caney – Gene Campbell Road” route for a total of 36.6 miles<\/strong> moved me to 104 miles<\/strong> for August and 138 miles<\/strong> for the week.<\/p>\n

The sky was overcast with a spot of blue sky peeking through every once in awhile. Wind was a light 5 mph from the NE not presenting much of an issue. After reading Dr. Mirkin’s email this morning I concentrated on doing some intervals during the ride.<\/p>\n

Stopping at the Valero at FM 1314 and Sorters Road for a 30 minute break I drank an orange Gatorade for some extra energy for the last 12+ miles of the ride. I was afraid the longer stop might give the rain clouds a chance to catch me but they were a no show.<\/p>\n

Friday’s weather heats up a few degrees from today and the rain chance goes up to around 50% but I plan on biking unless it is raining when I get ready to ride.<\/p>\n
