Another great biking day weather wise. No matter which direction I rode though it felt like a headwind was holding me back. There were a couple of exceptions though from FM2100 going west to the Lake Houston Causeway start. Once I was on the causeway there was no protection from the wind and I bogged down to 14 mph or so. The temperature ranged from 80 to 85 degrees and that pesky wind showed up as 2 mph from the ESE with 6 mph gusts. My legs reported a higher wind.<\/p>\n
While I was headed east over Lake Houston there was another bicyclist going west. We exchanged waves.<\/p>\n
My route went south and east through Eagle Springs, Walden at Lake Houston and on to Huffman before heading back to Kingwood. It has been a few weeks since I went this same route. The mileage turned out to be slightly more than yesterday coming at 34.56 miles<\/strong> at a 15.4 mph average speed. This increases May to 174.73 miles<\/strong> and year to date to 2268 miles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Since my last ride over Lake Houston causeway on Sunday some government entity ran the street sweepers on the shoulders. The clean shoulders will probably not last long but I will be happy.<\/p>\n The love bugs are not as noticeable on this route compared to going north along US59. I did not miss them. There was one pickup at the Huffman Chevron that was really coated with bugs.<\/p>\n [wppa type=”slide” album=”148″ size=”auto”][\/wppa]<\/p>\n [iframe http:\/\/ridewithgps.com\/trips\/1320527\/embed 95% 650px]<\/p>\n [iframe http:\/\/connect.garmin.com:80\/activity\/embed\/312842864 465px 650px]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Another great biking day weather wise.
