I thought this later start would position me to see the Amtrak train go through Huffman around 1;00 but it didn&#8217;t happen. I waited until 1:15 but no Amtrak train. There are two tracks Amtrak can take and I guess today they went on the other one.<\/p>\n<p>Riding to Huffman via Atascocita and Walden I saw two other bicyclists, one of them I saw twice. The first biker was waiting for the light to change at Atascocita Shores Dr. and FM1960. I was riding to FM1960 from the south on Atascocita Shores. I didn&#8217;t have to wait for the light to change so I was on the causeway over Lake Houston before him but about half way over the causeway he caught with me and rode on. Later as I rode on Fairlake Drive the other cyclist passed me going the opposite direction. I waved but he didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>The weather started out at 86 degrees (63% humidity) and when I was in Huffman waiting at the Chevron station it was 93 according to my phone. As I rode home from there the clouds increased and the temperature went to 84 (91% humidity).\u00c2\u00a0 The wind was from the south at 10 mph with 18 mph gusts at the start but turned calm at the end of the ride (2:02 pm).<\/p>\n<p>Nothing unusual about today&#8217;s ride.
