Today was no exception. At 10:17 AM I pushed the start button on my Bolt computer as I rolled away on my Lynskey R300 bike. This marked the 6th time biking this route in 2021. Of these 6 today was the longest at <strong>39.74 miles<\/strong>. The reason it is longer involves my looping back on the northbound US59\/I-69 frontage road to search for the microphone cover that came off the GoPro Media Mod. It probably came off as I pulled the GoPro from my jersey pocket. I didn&#8217;t find it. I thought losing it the audio in the video would pickup more wind noise. But as I edited the video the wind wasn&#8217;t that noticeable. I&#8217;ll try to find a replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-8-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"313\" data-attachment-id=\"57630\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/10-8-2021-ytd-bike-rides-summary-todays-route\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-8-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.png?fit=1827%2C476\" data-orig-size=\"1827,476\" 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=\"10-8-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary Today&amp;#8217;s Route\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;10-8-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary Today&amp;#8217;s Route&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;10-8-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary Today&amp;#8217;s Route&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-8-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.png?fit=600%2C156\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-8-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.png?fit=800%2C208\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-8-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.png?resize=1200%2C313&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"10-8-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary Today's Route\" class=\"wp-image-57630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-8-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.png?w=1827 1827w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-8-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.png?resize=600%2C156 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-8-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.png?resize=800%2C208 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-8-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.png?resize=640%2C167 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-8-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.png?resize=1536%2C400 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>10-8-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary Today&#8217;s Route<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Beautiful bike ride weather is hanging around. The light breeze keeps the headwind manageable. I built my overall average speed to 14.1 mph and held until I entered Kings Manor. I did not take my CamelBak using the Polar insulated water bottle. I stopped at the Circle K on FM 1314 at Sorters Road to refill it with ice and water. The water was still cold though the ice melted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weather overview: start 78 (71% humidity, 68 dew point), a few clouds, wind W 4 mph; finish 86 (50% humidity, 65 dew point), a few clouds, wind variable 5 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On FM 1485 the shoulder was covered with gravel for about 1\/2 mile. Not sure what happened. It wasn&#8217;t hard to ride on it thankfully. On Gene Campbell Blvd. approaching the new middle school where the road widens a shoulder exists thanks to repaving. Its about 2 feet wide but ends at the second side road. Road construction on what appears to be 2 lanes beside Gene Campbell Blvd. starts around New Caney Custom Cars to the Walmart warehouse truck entrance. The existing lanes are bumpy from all of the truck traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I felt good during the ride until I returned to Kingwood when my legs felt heavy and my pedaling slowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"970\" data-attachment-id=\"57629\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/10-8-2021-rwgps-bike-ride-route-map\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-8-2021-RWGPS-Bike-Ride-Route-Map.png?fit=1467%2C1186\" data-orig-size=\"1467,1186\" 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=\"10-8-2021 RWGPS Bike Ride Route Map\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;10-8-2021 RWGPS Bike Ride Route Map&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;10-8-2021 RWGPS Bike Ride Route Map&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-8-2021-RWGPS-Bike-Ride-Route-Map.png?fit=557%2C450\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-8-2021-RWGPS-Bike-Ride-Route-Map.png?fit=742%2C600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-8-2021-RWGPS-Bike-Ride-Route-Map.png?resize=1200%2C970&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"10-8-2021 RWGPS Bike Ride Route Map\" class=\"wp-image-57629\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-8-2021-RWGPS-Bike-Ride-Route-Map.png?w=1467 1467w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-8-2021-RWGPS-Bike-Ride-Route-Map.png?resize=557%2C450 557w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-8-2021-RWGPS-Bike-Ride-Route-Map.png?resize=742%2C600 742w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-8-2021-RWGPS-Bike-Ride-Route-Map.png?resize=594%2C480 594w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption>10-8-2021 RWGPS Bike Ride Route Map<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<iframe height='405' width='590' frameborder='0' allowtransparency='true' scrolling='no' src='https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/6083280286\/embed\/932a21e27784885c0393e0ad317caf058059efef'><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Checking my ride history I found that I almost always ride the &#8220;New Caney &#8211; Gene Campbell Road&#8221; route on Friday.
