With the temperature staying around 71 degrees I decided to not rush to start. I got ready and rolled away to begin the bike ride at 10:25 AM. I chose the &#8221; New Caney &#8211; Tavola &#8211; Valley Ranch&#8221; route going north into a 10 mph headwind. But it didn&#8217;t seem very strong compared to yesterday&#8217;s 23 mph gusts. I varied a few streets on the route and ended up riding <strong>35.55 miles,<\/strong> about what I guessed in the video. I rode my Canyon Endurace bike today. 14 times I biked this route so far in 2021, eight of those on my Canyon Endurace bike.<\/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\/10-11-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"533\" data-attachment-id=\"57654\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/10-11-2021-ytd-bike-rides-summary-todays-route\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-11-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.png?fit=1828%2C812\" data-orig-size=\"1828,812\" 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=\"10-11-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary Today&amp;#8217;s Route\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;10-11-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary Today&amp;#8217;s Route&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;10-11-2021 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\/10-11-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.png?fit=600%2C267\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-11-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.png?fit=800%2C355\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-11-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.png?resize=1200%2C533&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"10-11-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary Today's Route\" class=\"wp-image-57654\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-11-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.png?w=1828 1828w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-11-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.png?resize=600%2C267 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-11-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.png?resize=800%2C355 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-11-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.png?resize=640%2C284 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-11-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.png?resize=1536%2C682 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>10-11-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary Today&#8217;s Route<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the complimentary weather and light tailwind I hit 14.3 mph as the overall average speed on the way back to Kingwood. Depending on which direction you looked the sky was blue or dappled with clouds.
