Since the rain stayed away the dirt trails are dry. So I picked three trails parallel to drainage bayous. The first one runs from Nortpark Drive to Kingwood Drive. From there I crossed over Kingwood Drive and continued south to the bridge over the bayou into Trailwood Village. The metal bridge with wood plank floor emitted an interesting sound as I rode with the knobby tires. Starting after church at 11:50 the temperature ranged from 88 to 92 degrees. The light breeze did not penetrate the trees very well so I relied on my movement to move some air to help keep me somewhat cool.
