The sky was overcast and some of the clouds tried to look threatening but the radar did not show any rain in the area. So off I went to Walden at Lake Houston and then Huffman. I only had a 2 hour window to ride so no stops today except for traffic lights and stop signs. I almost got stopped by a train in Huffman but I made it across the tracks before the crossing guard signals started and the arms came down. The train was moving slowly and I knew it was coming from when I crossed the tracks on Old Atascocita Road. I thought the train would be beat me to the FM2100 crossing but I was quicker; Ha! Ha!.<\/p>\n
After riding 40 miles yesterday I thought my legs would be slower but I managed to keep my speed up. No rest stop did not mean I had to warm up again so that may have helped me keep a good pace.<\/p>\n
Today I wore the short and sleeve jersey combination because the temperature was 78 and the wind was light at 10.4 mph. Tonight the mid-week cool front is supposed to pass through, a day earlier than last week. Wednesday could be too cool to ride if it is not wet with the forecast to be 63.<\/p>\n
I rode 30.19 miles<\/strong> at a 15.3 mph average speed. I did not quite finish in the 2 hour limit but it was close enough. April mileage increased to 539.44<\/strong> and year to date stands at 1854.08 miles<\/strong>. I am under 200 miles to reach my April mileage goal of 720.<\/p>\n [wppa type=”slide” album=”135″ size=”auto”][\/wppa]<\/p>\n [iframe http:\/\/connect.garmin.com:80\/activity\/embed\/302349877 465px 548px]<\/p>\n [iframe http:\/\/ridewithgps.com\/trips\/1261994\/embed” 95% 600px]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
