31% Humidity in Houston? No Way. – May 26th Bike Ride

Texbiker.net Posted on by

Sometimes in the spring the humidity in Houston can actually be low. While there is a reputation of high temperatures and high humidity today was not one of those days. Ozone warnings are in effect so that can make riding tough but it does not seem to bother me. Partly cloudy skies, 91 degrees and a calm wind meant weather was not really a factor in today’s ride.

I did spot the Batmobile at the Fuddrucker’s in Kingwood. No Batman or Robin though.

Today’s riding statistics:

  • miles = 23.15
  • riding time = 1:31:15
  • average pace = 3:56 min/mile
  • average speed = 15.2 mph
  • max speed = 21.7 mph
  • average cadence = 81.6 rpm
  • max cadence = 107 rpm
  • climb 150 ft., descend 169 ft., max elevation 98 ft.
  • May miles 518.97
  • YTD miles 1918.77
