The light winds left and so did the blue sky. I rode around Kingwood Streets for today’s bike ride starting at 1:39 PM and finishing at 3:27 PM. At times fighting the wind affirmed my choice of staying close. I rode 21.66 miles making it a 230.93 mile week. Its good to hit 220+ miles after falling short last week.

For the year this is the 12th time biking on Kingwood streets, about once a month. My Lynskey R300 bike carried me.

A front may approach Houston this evening but before that the clouds moved in from the gulf and the wind with them. Weather summary: start 85 (78% humidity, 78 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind SE 16 mph gusts 22mph; finish 85 (78% humidity, 77 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind S 16 mph gusts 23 mph. After a week of light wind I forgot what it was like to ride in 23 mph gusts.

Kingwood Town Center was blocked off for a car show and other festivities. Watch the video to see a slipper car.

With the Lazer helmet working its way through the warranty process I reverted to the Catlike helmet.
