Wheels rolled at 1:40 PM under a mostly cloudy sky. The temperature inched up to 81 degrees after falling to 52 during the early morning. The 10 mph NE wind would make pedaling hard at times but not too hard. I optimistically wore a short sleeve jersey and shorts knowing as the miles and time passed my body heat would offset the wind chill effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Riding the Lynskey R300 bike I shift gears more frequently than the Canyon Endurace. Finding a comfortable speed and gear combination took about 9 miles settling on the big ring up front and the middle gear in the rear. This okay except for long stretches of headwind when my speed dropped a couple of mph. But the headwinds didn&#8217;t last long allowing me to slowly build my overall average speed up to 13.9 mph. This lasted until I returned to Kingwood. Back in Kingwood the stops and turns eroded the average speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today&#8217;s route came in at <strong>26.99 miles<\/strong> (why didn&#8217;t I ride another 60 feet?) finalizing the week&#8217;s total at <strong>227.75 miles<\/strong>, the highest week so far this year. March&#8217;s total moved to <strong>807.25 miles<\/strong>, the highest month since last July. With two more potential biking days left I can add to that total. A summary of the weeks and March. Third week in a row of 200+ miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-29-2020-SportTracks-March-Bike-Rides-Summary.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"811\" data-attachment-id=\"52618\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/2020\/03\/29\/biking-sunday-afternoon-with-many-people-outside\/3-29-2020-sporttracks-march-bike-rides-summary\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-29-2020-SportTracks-March-Bike-Rides-Summary.jpg?fit=1897%2C1282\" data-orig-size=\"1897,1282\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"3-29-2020-SportTracks-March-Bike-Rides-Summary\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-29-2020-SportTracks-March-Bike-Rides-Summary.jpg?fit=600%2C405\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-29-2020-SportTracks-March-Bike-Rides-Summary.jpg?fit=800%2C541\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-29-2020-SportTracks-March-Bike-Rides-Summary.jpg?resize=1200%2C811&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-52618\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-29-2020-SportTracks-March-Bike-Rides-Summary.jpg?w=1897 1897w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-29-2020-SportTracks-March-Bike-Rides-Summary.jpg?resize=600%2C405 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-29-2020-SportTracks-March-Bike-Rides-Summary.jpg?resize=800%2C541 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-29-2020-SportTracks-March-Bike-Rides-Summary.jpg?resize=640%2C433 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-29-2020-SportTracks-March-Bike-Rides-Summary.jpg?resize=1536%2C1038 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the social distancing and stay at home orders many people were outside.
