While I waited I watched the Prologue of the Tour de Romandie. Yesterday&#8217;s rain brought the cooler temperatures for the next couple of days. Finished watching the bike race I got ready and rolled the Cervelo Caledonia out the driveway. As I waited for some cars to pass another car pulled up on the other side of the street. They noticed the new plants and cleaned up front flower bed. They asked me what were the tall red roses because they wanted to plant some in their backyard. I told them Knock Out roses and where I bought them. They thanked me and drove off. I pressed the start button on the Bolt computer at 11:15 AM and started the ride on the &#8220;Atascocita &#8211; Walden &#8211; Huffman&#8221; route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the time I finished at 1:53 PM I biked 33.47 miles. Checking SportTracks this was the ninth time biking this route. Today&#8217;s ride was the average of the other 8 rides in distance, time, but higher in effort, and average power.<\/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\/2022\/04\/4-26-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Atascocita-Walden-Huffman.png?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1809\" height=\"595\" data-attachment-id=\"59071\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/4-26-2022-ytd-bike-rides-atascocita-walden-huffman\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-26-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Atascocita-Walden-Huffman.png?fit=1809%2C595\" data-orig-size=\"1809,595\" 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=\"4-26-2022 YTD Bike Rides Atascocita &amp;#8211; Walden &amp;#8211; Huffman\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;4-26-2022 YTD Bike Rides Atascocita &amp;#8211; Walden &amp;#8211; Huffman&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;4-26-2022 YTD Bike Rides Atascocita &amp;#8211; Walden &amp;#8211; Huffman&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-26-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Atascocita-Walden-Huffman.png?fit=600%2C197\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-26-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Atascocita-Walden-Huffman.png?fit=800%2C263\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-26-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Atascocita-Walden-Huffman.png?fit=1809%2C595&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"4-26-2022 YTD Bike Rides Atascocita - Walden - Huffman\" class=\"wp-image-59071\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-26-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Atascocita-Walden-Huffman.png?w=1809 1809w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-26-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Atascocita-Walden-Huffman.png?resize=600%2C197 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-26-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Atascocita-Walden-Huffman.png?resize=800%2C263 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-26-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Atascocita-Walden-Huffman.png?resize=640%2C211 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-26-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Atascocita-Walden-Huffman.png?resize=1536%2C505 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>4-26-2022 YTD Bike Rides Atascocita &#8211; Walden &#8211; Huffman<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The route took me to Atascocita Shores Drive at FM 1960 where I checked the construction progress. You can see that in the ride video. I also saw another cyclist in the parking lot of the church on Fairlake Lane and he is in the video. He told me his wife rides a bike just like my Cervelo. We chatted about the headwind and he told me where he rode to and back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weather conditions: start 69 (humidity 75%, dew point 61), mostly cloudy, wind NE 12 mph gusts 18 mph; finish 74 (humidity 66%, dew point 62), mostly cloudy, wind E 9 mph. The wind actually decreased during the ride for a change. I needed to dress warmer because of the wind and temperature: shorts, long sleeve jersey, and a short sleeve jersey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/7045545079\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1043\" height=\"935\" data-attachment-id=\"59070\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/4-26-2022-strava-atascocita-walden-huffman-data-summary\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-26-2022-Strava-Atascocita-Walden-Huffman-Data-Summary.png?fit=1043%2C935\" data-orig-size=\"1043,935\" 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=\"4-26-2022 Strava Atascocita &amp;#8211; Walden &amp;#8211; Huffman Data Summary\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;4-26-2022 Strava Atascocita &amp;#8211; Walden &amp;#8211; Huffman Data Summary&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;4-26-2022 Strava Atascocita &amp;#8211; Walden &amp;#8211; Huffman Data Summary&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-26-2022-Strava-Atascocita-Walden-Huffman-Data-Summary.png?fit=502%2C450\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-26-2022-Strava-Atascocita-Walden-Huffman-Data-Summary.png?fit=669%2C600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-26-2022-Strava-Atascocita-Walden-Huffman-Data-Summary.png?fit=1043%2C935&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"4-26-2022 Strava Atascocita - Walden - Huffman Data Summary\" class=\"wp-image-59070\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-26-2022-Strava-Atascocita-Walden-Huffman-Data-Summary.png?w=1043 1043w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-26-2022-Strava-Atascocita-Walden-Huffman-Data-Summary.png?resize=502%2C450 502w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-26-2022-Strava-Atascocita-Walden-Huffman-Data-Summary.png?resize=669%2C600 669w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-26-2022-Strava-Atascocita-Walden-Huffman-Data-Summary.png?resize=535%2C480 535w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1043px) 100vw, 1043px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>4-26-2022 Strava Atascocita &#8211; Walden &#8211; Huffman Data Summary<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/ridewithgps.com\/embeds?type=trip&#038;id=88278521&#038;sampleGraph=true\" style=\"width: 1px; min-width: 90%; height: 1000px; border: none;\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not in a hurry to start today&#8217;s bike ride because the temperature was in the low 60&#8217;s.
