Generally I do not ride the same way two days in a row but today was an exception when I rode to Huffman again. The route was not the same as yesterday but I went through Atascocita and Walden on the way to Huffman. The goal was to ride enough to reach the 370 mile goal for February. I needed 26 miles and I biked 31.46 miles. This put February miles at 375.69. The weather the rest of the week looks sketchy with rain the next 2 days and then some rain. I was tempted to ride a shorter route and make up the difference another day. The weather did not encourage me today with an overcast sky and 66 degrees. I remembered in the past when I put off riding thinking I could catch up later and then did not make it. With this in mind I decided to go for the longer ride.
Riding on Firesign Drive I passed two ladies walking their Doberman Pinchers to keep up the string of days sighting dog walkers. On the return route I met a man riding an over sized mountain bike at the Kings River and W. Lake Houston Parkway. He was riding on the trail and I was on the street. I have seen him before and I wonder if he is a commuter because of his backpack.
When I was trying to think of a way to ride north enough miles but not too many I could not come up with a satisfactory route. Going to Huffman seems to offer more variations.
I divide my biking into three categories: fitness, scenic, and fitness/scenic. Today was not scenic and fitness was the reason for riding. I am looking forward to warmer weather and some sunshine.
To speed up my return leg I passed the Huffman Chevron without stopping. I can’t remember the last time I did that.
