I am glad to have been once. Good stuff. But this has to be devastating for those who put countless hours into the trails, and for the locals who regularly enjoyed the park. And the upcoming race series, which I have to assume is canceled–or will have to be relocated.

Starting a new month of biking with a 36.17 mile ride on the “New Caney – Tavola – Valley Ranch” route. I start ed the ride at 11:36 AM and finished at 2:25 PM. My goal for June is 800 miles which means I will be busy and off days will be rare unless the weather forces me. Today was the 11th ride on this route in 2020. The bike for today’s ride was my Canyon Endurace CF SLX.
The weather could’ve been better with an overcast sky and strong humidity which made it feel cool at the start. Once I warmed up it got sticky. Weather while I biked: start 79 (78% humidity, 71.1 dew point), overcast, wind NE 9 mph. Finish 81 (73% humidity, 72.0 dew point), overcast, wind E 7 mph.
Riding to the north the wind didn’t present a problem as I improved my average speed. Once I made the turn back to the south the tailwind allowed me to push the average speed to 14.5 mph at one point but then settled in at 14.4 mph until I got to Kings Manor.

I needed 18 miles to push the week’s total over 200 miles. Starting the ride at 1:52 PM I selected a route that go that far but not leave the area around Kingwood. I call the route “Kingwood Streets” and biked 23.54 miles making the week’s total 205.82 miles. The Lynskey R300 carried me over the streets.
The weather looked threatening with overcast sky and a few dark clouds sprinkled around. My gray sunglasses lens accentuated the dark sky causing me to wonder if I would ride those 18 miles dry or wet. It turned out to be dry though near the end the pavement showed signs of rain before I got there. As I finished the ride standing at my driveway I felt a couple of rain drops but it didn’t go any farther. Weather while I biked: start 83 (74% humidity, 73.9 dew point), overcast, wind E 12 mph. Finish 81 (84% humidity, 75.3 dew point), overcast, wind NE 9 mph.
May is the only month this year that ends on a Sunday which coincides with the end of a week. Recapping the week and month biking activities I biked 27 days out of 31.
