Memorial Park Crits 3/4 – wk1 – 10th Houston, Texas

Enoc Garza | strava.com

Wet race. Sat in the back. Crashed when 2 riders went down in front of me. Scraped up my wheels. Got back in the race. Sat in the back again. Moved up for a prime, pushed wide, gave it up. Probably wouldn’t have got it anyways. With 3 to go started moving up. Course still wet. Managed 9th. (Correction 10th. Lucas broke with 3 to go.). Hoping for a dry race next week.

Back To After Sunrise Start Time Biking To Caney Creek Out & Back

Texbiker.net Posted on by

No before sunrise bike ride today. I rolled away at 8:46 AM on my Lynskey Helix bike. I rode north following my Kingwood – FM1485 – Kingwood route. This was the 10th ride using this route in 2023. Today’s 33.61 miles was slightly more than the average ride distance. There was a small concern about rain with the Space City Weather forecast mentioning the chance of rain from later in the morning into the afternoon. Fortunately I finished at 11:19 AM and no rain though the clouds appeared to be coming closer together. The Lynskey now has 3,048 miles since the first ride on May 29, 2022. I didn’t realize the Lynskey was used on the majority of the rides on this route.

Weather: Start 82 degrees, 84% humidity, dew point 76.7, mostly cloudy, wind S 5 mph; Finish 90 degrees, 63% humidity, dew point 75.8, mostly cloudy, wind S 6 mph. The lower humidity from the pre-sunrise rides was noticeable and I didn’t need to peel off my bike kit after the ride. The light wind was helpful.

Looking at my AXS.SRAM.com ride report the gear usage showed 33 rear derailleur shifts with the 35×13 for 1:26:18 (21.2 miles) and the 35×15 39:46 (8.4 miles).

Second Before Sunrise Bike Ride In 3 Days

Texbiker.net Posted on by

Happy Fourth of July. I employed the same bike ride strategy today as Sunday, start very early and then go to church except it was the Kingwood parade today. I even started 2 minutes earlier at 6:10 AM. Aboard my Cervelo Caledonia I wasn’t expecting much traffic and there wasn’t. A few people were up early walking and I saw two guys on their bikes in Elm Grove Village. I’m not sure if they were getting ready to ride or finished. We waved and said hello. Sunday I biked just over 20 miles and I wanted to repeat that or more today. I finished a little later today at 7:54 AM and rode 22.88 miles.

As to be expected the humidity was high and the temperature wasn’t too bad. At the finish my bike kit was dripping. I had to peel it off. Weather: Start 77 degrees, 92% humidity, dew point 74.5, partly cloudy, wind S 4 mph; Finish 80 degrees, 92% humidity, mostly cloudy, wind S 4 mph. It was a good thing I rode before the parade rather than after because it rained after the parade.

I rode through Kingwood with a brief time through Woodridge Forest and north. Riding on Adams Street got me the Strava Local Legend on Trikelly and then I went back through Woodridge Forest and into Kingwood. It wasn’t the same route as Sunday but I did bike on some of the same streets. Last year I biked the Spring Creek Greenway on July 4th riding 29 miles.

This probably the last time for biking this early for awhile.
