Riding through Eagle Springs – Walden – Huffman is a longer version of the usual ride through Atascocita – Walden – Huffman. The Eagle Springs route takes me on the street where I had my collision last September. School is going to be out but I timed today’s ride to pass the spot around 10:30 when students were not leaving.<\/p>\n
The ride began at 9:49 under a mostly cloudy sky, 80 degrees, 80% humidity and a light breeze. I returned home at 12:55 still under the mostly cloudy sky (dark clouds gathered while I was stopped in Huffman), 89 degrees, 55% humidity and a 8.1 mph SSE breeze. Around 12:40 when I was in the O’Rielly Auto Parts parking lot going home the Creekwood Middle School must have let out releasing many students to walk down the sidewalk where I cut through the Bank of America to get on the side streets and home. I had to wait about 5 minutes until the big groups passed.<\/p>\n
Speaking of passing I saw one other bicyclist while I rode east on Old Atascocita Road and I waved but got no response.<\/p>\n
I stopped as usual at the Huffman Chevron for a snack and drink break. I watched the sky as some dark clouds approached then moved to the west. I hoped I didn’t ride in any rain on the way home and I did not. I rode 34.85 miles<\/strong> and averaged 14.7 mph. This ride was an uneventful one with nothing really getting my attention. By starting a little earlier I did get home before the temperature got up to 90. I perspired heavily and my jersey and bandana were soaked when I got home.<\/p>\n Statistics after today: 145.59 miles this week, 174.71 miles in June, 2574 miles for the year<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Tomorrow the weather should repeat today’s. I plan on biking though not more than 30 miles. On Saturday I will ride the Spindletop Spin in Beaumont. I made a hotel reservation using booking.com and while I biking I got a phone call telling me the hotel could not accept my reservation because they did not have any rooms; some error in their computer didn’t update the room inventory. I reserved a room at Super 8 and no problem so far. I used Super 8’s website this time.<\/p>\n [wppa type=”slide” album=”335″ size=”auto”][\/wppa]<\/p>\n [iframe http:\/\/connect.garmin.com:80\/activity\/embed\/514404310 465px 548px]<\/p>\n Link to RideWithGPS version of the ride.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Riding through Eagle Springs – Walden – Huffman is a longer version of the usual ride through Atascocita – Walden – Huffman.
