As I planned today’s ride yesterday I thought I would go north but I changed my mind as I left home at 9:46 to ride the “Walden – Stroker Road – Huffman” route. This route would go further than the north route I had in mind. I rode 41.3 miles today bringing August up to 308.77 miles and 230.36 miles this week. Tomorrow I think I will ride my MTB on the Kingwood trails for variety. I haven’ rode my MTB for 3 month or so when my son-in-law was visiting. I am now 647 miles away from my August goal of 956 miles. I will be riding the Hotter’n Hell 100 on August 29th; I plan on riding the Hell’s Gate route of about 75 miles. Today marks the 13th day in a row of riding. I will have to check on the most days in a row that I have ridden.
- July 2014 12 days in a row.
- June and May 2014 16 days in a row.
- June and July 2013 13 days in a row.
I thought I might see some other bikers along the route and I did. 13 bikers were probably headed back home as I was going away from home. 8 of the 13 were west of Lake Houston and south of FM1960. 2 of them were riding east on FM1960 while I was resting at the Huffman Chevron. I think one of them is the man I talk to at the chevron sometimes. He likes to ride to Dayton. The other biker was on Ramsey Road just north of Stoker Road.
We are having another hot day in a string of 100+ days coming up. The weather screen shots while I was at the Huffman Chevron taking a break plus the forecast for the next several days.
With the 41.3 mile ride today I have ridden this route 4 times during 2015. There is a slightly shorter version where I do not go through Walden.

I was back home at 1:17 and the home weather station was reporting this.
