I try to bike the greenway at least once in a month. I rode away at 10:21 AM on my Lynskey R300 bike looking forward to seeing other cyclists along with joggers and walkers. It wasn&#8217;t very busy today with only a few cyclists, walkers, and joggers. The mowing crews were busy and they all stopped mowing as I passed to minimize the dust and flying grass. This was the 4th bike ride to Pundt Park this year.<\/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\/05\/5-4-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Spring-Creek-Greenway-Pundt-Park.png?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1827\" height=\"391\" data-attachment-id=\"59131\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/5-4-2022-ytd-bike-rides-spring-creek-greenway-pundt-park\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/5-4-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Spring-Creek-Greenway-Pundt-Park.png?fit=1827%2C391\" data-orig-size=\"1827,391\" 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=\"5-4-2022 YTD Bike Rides Spring Creek Greenway Pundt Park\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;5-4-2022 YTD Bike Rides Spring Creek Greenway Pundt Park&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;5-4-2022 YTD Bike Rides Spring Creek Greenway Pundt Park&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/5-4-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Spring-Creek-Greenway-Pundt-Park.png?fit=600%2C128\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/5-4-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Spring-Creek-Greenway-Pundt-Park.png?fit=800%2C171\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/5-4-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Spring-Creek-Greenway-Pundt-Park.png?fit=1827%2C391&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"5-4-2022 YTD Bike Rides Spring Creek Greenway Pundt Park\" class=\"wp-image-59131\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/5-4-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Spring-Creek-Greenway-Pundt-Park.png?w=1827 1827w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/5-4-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Spring-Creek-Greenway-Pundt-Park.png?resize=600%2C128 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/5-4-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Spring-Creek-Greenway-Pundt-Park.png?resize=800%2C171 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/5-4-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Spring-Creek-Greenway-Pundt-Park.png?resize=640%2C137 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/5-4-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Spring-Creek-Greenway-Pundt-Park.png?resize=1536%2C329 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>5-4-2022 YTD Bike Rides Spring Creek Greenway Pundt Park<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I wanted to ride at least 40 miles and added two streets off of the greenway, Treashwig Road at the Carter Park trailhead and Birnhamwood Blvd. at Pundt Park. I thought these would increase the mileage to 42 miles but it turned out to be just slightly longer than the previous ride. I need to look at the map from the March 28th ride to see how it went longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Biking the greenway feels different from riding on streets. On the greenway there are no stop signs, many curves, and deceptive inclines. I think my legs get a different workout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One advantage biking the greenway are the trees for shade and slowing the wind. One disadvantage, I think the foliage blocks the GPS signal. Several times today I looked at the Bolt computer while moving and the speed was 0. After the ride I checked the speed sensor battery and it need to be replaced so that could&#8217;ve been the reason too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Away from the greenway the wind was strong with 23 to 24 mph gusts. I didn&#8217;t notice that biking to Pundt Park but on the way back when I went through an open space the wind roared into me. The temperature was pleasant with the shade and wind. A few gray clouds moved by but no rain. Weather conditions: start 80 (humidity 83%, dew point 75), mostly cloudy, wind SE 14 mph gusts 22 mph; finish 85 (humidity 68%, dew point 74), mostly cloudy, wind SE 14 mph gusts 24 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I took a short rest at Pundt Park before heading back. There a number of mothers and children at the swings. There weren&#8217;t that many cars in the parking lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After finishing at 1:47 PM I checked Strava and saw a number of top results which surprised me because I didn&#8217;t think I rode fast enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure
