The rain was on the southwest side of Houston when I started the ride at 10:59 but the sky was overcast in Kingwood. Believing the weather forecast that rain might appear in the afternoon I set out to Huffman. All went well until around the 12 mile mark when I felt a couple of rain drops and a big one landed on the Garmin 510. From that point I kept a wary eye on the clouds. At Huffman I took a break and checking the weather radar on my phone it looked like rain was falling on Kingwood. I made a mental note of some places I can get out of the rain and set off towards home. Again a few rain drops landed with most coming when I stopped to take these pictures on Atascocita Shores Drive. (click on the image to enlarge it)<\/p>\n

There were many other homes with flags out to remember those who served our country. I like these homes because they were together. We have a flag out our house as well.<\/p>\n

I continue to ride slow. The route totaled 32.05 miles<\/strong> and I averaged 14.5 mph. The 21 days off plus the hospital stay sapped my conditioning and I am going to work back up to where I was before. May miles reached 200.11. The wind was 16.1 mph from the SE which did not help my riding speed and when I did get a tailwind I was able to get my speed up to 18 – 19 mph.<\/p>\n

The avoidance of Diet Pepsi continues. At the Huffman Chevron I drank Gatorade to wash down the Kashi trailmix bar and cookies.<\/p>\n

Tuesday and Wednesday still look wet according to the forecast. If it is wet I will watch the Giro d’Italia on BeInSport via Dish.<\/p>\n
