After two days of riding in the rain I decided to try a different approach so I rode my Motobecane 700HT MTB on the Kingwood greenbelt trails. No rain today and the shade on the trails felt refreshing. I checked the weather in Dallas (61 degrees) and San Antonio (69 degrees) before I started at 12:27 PM. The temperature here was 84 to 89 degrees while I rode. The mostly cloudy sky and calm wind held the sun at bay but I still wore sunscreen. My plan was to ride easily but I pedaled briskly for riding my mountain bike.<\/p>\n
My trail route covered 17.50 miles<\/strong> at a 12.1 mph average speed, a 19.9 mph max speed and 74.5 RPM average cadence. The trails were empty. I don’t remember encountering one person. I finished the ride at 2:00 PM with 1:26:37 time moving and 5:26 time stopped. I went on some trails I have not been on for a long time riding north on Mills Branch Drive. I rode this street many months ago but in the opposite direction. I did not realize the greenbelt trail went all the way from Kingwood Drive to Northpark Drive.<\/p>\n Mileage stands at 114.84 for this week, 261.58 for September and 4978.84 YTD.
