The bike ride began at 1:35 PM with many clouds in the sky. Some of them looked wet but since it wasn’t raining I rode away on my Lynskey R300 bike. With the late start the route was a combination of streets In Kingwood. Some of the streets were not familiar but most were. There was a strong 12 mph wind from the south, the direction I headed to after riding west into Woodridge Forest. I wasn’t sure how long the ride would be but by the 2:58 PM finish I rode 17.43 miles. The week ended with 235.67 miles. In 2021 I biked Kingwood streets 10 times.

The dark clouds moved around as I biked. I hoped they would away but as I entered the San Jacinto Bayou Greenway a few raindrops hit me. That stopped but around 15 miles as I rode beside the lake the rain returned with more than just a few drops. I stayed on the greenbelt taking advantage of the tree cover as shelter. Whenever I came out in the open I got wet. As I emerged from the greenbelt around 17 miles the street was wet but no rain falling.

Overall weather conditions: start 94 (55% humidity, 75.5 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind S 12 mph; finish 83 (88% humidity, 79.4 dew point), light rain, wind S 9 mph.
