During today’s ride while I stopped at the Texaco station before entering Valley Ranch for a water refill one of the men unloading a Grocery Supply Company truck told me he is restoring a Shogun bicycle and that the parts are hard to find. If you do not recognize the Shogun brand I remember it from the 1980’s. Back then a lot of bicycles were made in Japan before they moved to Taiwan and then China. This link will take you a website where people are selling Shogun bikes<\/strong><\/a>. He asked if I went on many organized rides and I said the last one was the LBJ100 in Johnson City. He said he has ridden the Hotter’n Hell 100 two or three times. I left him one of my Texbiker.net business cards inviting him to check out all of the Texas biking news and events.<\/p>\n

After yesterday’s 37 mile ride I decided to shorten today’s and go on my familiar route to New Caney and then back through the Valley Ranch housing development. This route came to 30.54 miles<\/strong>. I rode at an easier pace than yesterday as well with a 15.1 mph average speed, 20.8 mph max speed and 77.9 RPM average cadence. Riding time totaled 2:01:37 plus 14:36 time stopped. My start time was a little earlier at 10:33AM. I am watching the Tour of Switzerland and the stage did not finish until a few minutes past 10. Tomorrow’s stage is the individual time trial so I will not watch it live but on NBCSports via Dish satellite in the afternoon.<\/p>\n

With this starting time the weather did not get to full strength yet. Temperature range during the ride: 87 to 93. Humidity: 63% to 48%. Partly cloudy with a south 8.1 mph breeze.<\/p>\n

Mileage standings: 130.33<\/strong> this week, 396.22<\/strong> for June, 3,186.60<\/strong> YTD. Link to data and map at RideWithGPS.com<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
