Starting later I thought I might have missed seeing other cyclists but that wasn&#8217;t the case. I rode my typical Saturday route, &#8220;Atascocita &#8211; Huffman &#8211; Walden&#8221;. I needed 12 miles to hit 200 for the week and 15 miles to reach my 700 mile goal for September. I accomplished both riding 32.56 miles today. 7 times I biked this route in 2021. YTD I am at 7,492 miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li

week with a long sleeve jersey under my short sleeve jersey. It replaced my arm sleeves. I&#8217;m glad I made that choice at the beginning because the shade felt chilly. When I finished at 11:44 AM the temperature had not moved above the upper 70&#8217;s. Lots of sun made for a gorgeous day to ride. The weather summary for the bike ride: start 69 (76% humidity, 62 dew point), a few clouds, wind var 5 mph; finish 78 (52% humidity, 59 dew point), a few clouds, wind calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last night I applied Chain L #5 chain lube to the Canyon Endurace. Recently the chain made noise and I wondered if putting the Chain L #5 on would reduce the noise. It ran smooth and quiet during the bike ride. The drawback is if I need to touch the chain I will get black marks on my fingers. I wax my chains to reduce that problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The light wind helped my legs keep power flowing even crossing Lake Houston.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/6017918070\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1052\" height=\"887\" data-attachment-id=\"57529\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/9-25-2021-strava-bike-ride-summary\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/9-25-2021-Strava-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=1052%2C887\" data-orig-size=\"1052,887\" 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=\"9-25-2021 Strava Bike Ride Summary\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;9-25-2021 Strava Bike Ride Summary&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;9-25-2021 Strava Bike Ride Summary&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/9-25-2021-Strava-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=534%2C450\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/9-25-2021-Strava-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=712%2C600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/9-25-2021-Strava-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=1052%2C887&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"9-25-2021 Strava Bike Ride Summary\" class=\"wp-image-57529\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/9-25-2021-Strava-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?w=1052 1052w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/9-25-2021-Strava-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=534%2C450 534w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/9-25-2021-Strava-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=712%2C600 712w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/9-25-2021-Strava-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=569%2C480 569w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1052px) 100vw, 1052px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>9-25-2021 Strava Bike Ride Summary<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I want my ride videos and blog posts to inspire people to get on their bike and ride.
