The unusual thing about today’s ride: not stopping until the 21.4 mile point. The route today minimized the number of traffic lights and where I did encounter one the green light cooperated until I got to FM1485 and US59 in New Caney. I tried to time my arrival but green light was slow in coming. I started at 9:12 AM and the riding time totaled 2:11:03 and 33.87 miles<\/strong>. The last time I rode this route was June 5th. I was a little slower today than the last time. Today My average speed was 15.5 mph, 4\/10 mph slower. My max speed today was higher though hitting 25.7 mph. I didn’t see any other bicyclists but a car with a bicycle on a rear carrier did honk at me on FM1485. I did not realize they carried a bike so I did not wave since they were past me by that time.<\/p>\n

Weather was mostly a repeat of yesterday: temperature range of 80 to 91, scattered clouds, light 4 mph SE breeze, humidity 84% to 60% at the end. No rain in the sky but some fluffy clouds moving slowly by. Tomorrow should repeat today. My body produced plenty of perspiration soaking gloves, jersey and shorts.<\/p>\n

Riding time was 2:11:03 plus 31:28 time stopped in Porter drying out some and drinking a Diet Pepsi. Mileage standings after the ride: 66.25 miles<\/strong> this week, 232.42 miles<\/strong> in July and 3545.83<\/strong> YTD. Link to RideWithgps.com data and route map<\/strong><\/a>. All of my 5 mile splits except the last one showed an average speed of 15.0 mph or more. This table shows the time and distance spent at various speed zones.<\/p>\n

The 26.56 miles riding 16.7 to 22.0 mph explains why I averaged the speed I did and the impact of the 7.25 miles riding less than 16.7 mph. The 7.25 miles mostly runs through residential areas with many stops and starts.<\/p>\n
