As I write this at 3:30 the home weather station reports 98.4 degrees outside. During my ride it range 87 to 95. The weather forecast shows a 30% chance of rain but the partly cloudy sky does not appear to agree. With the chance of rain increasing to 60% tomorrow I thought I should go for a little longer ride today so I visited the grass farms north of Crosby and south of Huffman. This ended up at <strong>37.19 miles<\/strong>. Some of the roads do not have stores or places to get water so I took my CamelBak and with the heat and sun it came in handy. I enjoyed cold water until I got to Huffman around 25.7 miles into the ride.<\/p>\n<p>The calm wind did not factor into the ride but I would have liked a little to help cool. Also this route has some long stretches without much shade, particularly when the roads split the grass farms. Along FM2100 going south I think I saw what looked like a young coyote, a victim of a car or truck. The ride went as planned without any incidents. I did stay a little longer at the Huffman Chevron enjoying the shade and light breeze.<\/p>\n<p>Overall I averaged 15.5 mph with a max speed of 19.9 mph. I double checked this at Garmin Connect and it agreed. I thought I went faster than that but maybe I held a steady speed rather than a high one. 79.1 RPM was my average cadence.
