As I planned today’s route I decided on a combination of streets and roads different from what I rode in the past. I wasn’t sure what the distance would be but I figured it would under 40 miles and it totaled 37.56 miles<\/strong>. The long stretches of open road without stops and starts allowed me to get my average speed up to 16.3 mph with only a 20.8 mph max speed and 82.2 RPM average cadence. Many years ago I rode this section of FM1485 but there is a two mile section without shoulders. Back then a lot of logging trucks traveled this road so I stopped riding this route. Today I only saw two logging trucks; one going the other direction with a load and one going my direction and empty. The one going my way passed before the no shoulder section.<\/p>\n

Going through The Commons of Lake Houston lessened the traffic concern but I did not remember all of the turns so I got back onto FM1485 before I should have. For a couple of streets in the Commons another rider in a Milram kit followed me. I said hi but he did not respond. Our ways split when I made one of my wrong turns onto Hargrave Road. Later on as I arrived at my usual stop at the Huffman Chevron an incident happened when a motorcyclist drove off without paying for his gas. This set off a string of events resulting in two Harris County deputies arriving after awhile. Not sure what went on between the clerks and the deputies though. They left just before I did.<\/p>\n

After our rain yesterday evening the temperature dropped some for my ride to 82 – 92 degrees, humidity 52% at the finish, partly cloudy sky and an almost non-existent 3.5 mph N breeze. The light breezed helped my average speed. Except for the last segment my average speed was great.<\/p>\n
