Ride to the south and east today I went through Atascocita, Walden and Huffman. The roads were no different than normal except for a possible diesel fuel spill on the north bound lane of FM2100 north of Old Atascocita Road. It look wet and\u00c2\u00a0 because of the traffic I could not ride around it. I expected my bike to be coated but when I got the Huffman Chevron there were only a few spots which wiped off easily. It so happened that a Harris County Deputy Sheriff was parked at the Chevron station so I told him about it. After he finished his coffee break he left to check it out. I did not know how this would turn out but while I was riding west across Lake Houston a fire truck from the Atascocita Volunteer Fire Department drove to the east with lights flashing. No way to tell if they were going to the spill but maybe they were.<\/p>\n
Another hot and sunny day greeted me for the ride with partly cloudy sky, 94.5 degrees and a variable 7 mph breeze. I was comfortable riding as long as I kept moving. Whenever I stopped the perspiration flowed down my arms to leave the pavement spotted. As I rode I needed to dip my head to the right to let the perspiration run off so as to not get on my sunglasses.<\/p>\n
Traffic was light over the 32.13 mile<\/strong> route and I did not see any other bicyclists. June mileage increased to 562.69<\/strong>, this week’s miles now total 97.18<\/strong> and 3002 miles<\/strong> year to date. Reaching 3002 miles for the year is a good deal pointing to the possibility of getting to 6000 miles for the year.<\/p>\n Tomorrow will be a rest day after biking for 10 days in a row and 17 out of 19 days for June. Friday I plan on biking again.<\/p>\n Links to Garmin Connect<\/strong><\/a> and RideWithGPS.com<\/strong><\/a> maps and metrics.<\/p>\n [wppa type=”slide” album=”171″][\/wppa]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ride to the south and east today I went through Atascocita, Walden and Huffman.
