A rare event took place while I rode through Huffman: two temperature signs agreed on the temperature of 86 degrees. The signs were about a 1\/4 mile apart at Action Sign and Lake Houston Untied Methodist Church. While the temperature dropped a few degrees from yesterday’s record one it still felt warm. Scattered clouds with a southeast 12 mph wind aided the feel. I wore a short sleeve jersey but with the wind I think I could’ve worn a long sleeve one. So sunscreen on the arms was required for the first time this year, I think. The wind could not make up it’s mind since it felt like it came from whatever direction I was riding towards.<\/p>\n
No route variation today as I rode a typical route through Atascocita, Walden at Lake Houston and across Lake Houston to Huffman. This took me 32.2 miles<\/strong> at 14.9 mph average speed. Now March miles total 393.33<\/strong> and year to date moved up to 1074.92 miles<\/strong>. When I was leaving the Huffman Chevron riding west on FM1960 I looked ahead to a pasture along side the road. One cow was leaning heavily into the barbed wire fence trying to that “extra green grass” on the other side. Apparently when a cow leans into barbed wire slowly the barbs don’t get their attention. The cow’s head protruded between two strands of barbed wire, one shiny from a recent installation. If the cow keeps at it the fence will be on the ground.<\/p>\n Links to data and maps at Garmin Connect<\/strong><\/a> and RideWithGPS.com<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n Tomorrow the high comes down to 77 degrees with a 20% chance of rain. I plan on riding.<\/p>\n [wppa type=”slideonlyf” album=”112″ size=”auto”][\/wppa]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A rare event took place while I rode through Huffman: two temperature signs agreed on the temperature of 86 degrees.
