It arrived about 12:15 so I was free to get out and ride. At 1:00 I rolled out the driveway headed to the south. With daylight savings time and 72 degrees I figured today would be great to ride a little further than I have lately. The ride was through Atascocita, Eagle Springs and Walden before crossing Lake Houston to Huffman. I rode past the spot where I had my car collision last September. This time school is out for spring break and no traffic was moving around Atascocita High School. That was a reason why did not mind riding there. Since then I pay extra attention to cars pulling out from side streets.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"23501\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/2014\/03\/11\/fedex-truck-arrives-and-i-go\/img_0989\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_0989.jpg?fit=4000%2C2248&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"4000,2248\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon PowerShot SX230 HS&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1394539691&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.003125&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_0989\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_0989.jpg?fit=600%2C337&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_0989.jpg?fit=800%2C449&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-23501\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_0989.jpg?resize=600%2C337\" alt=\"IMG_0989\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_0989.jpg?resize=600%2C337&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_0989.jpg?resize=800%2C449&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_0989.jpg?resize=150%2C84&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_0989.jpg?resize=400%2C224&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_0989.jpg?w=2400 2400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_0989.jpg?w=3600 3600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The weather was sunny under partly cloudy sky.
