I cannot remember a year where I rode in the rain as much as this year. Today I set off to Huffman but I didn’t get there. As I rode by Kingwood High Scholl on Kingwood Drive I started to feel a few rain drops but I kept going thinking I would ride out of it. The streets weren’t wet yet as I went through Town Center and into Kingwood Greens. By the time I reached W. Lake Houston Parkway it was raining steady. I crossed W. Lake Houston Parkway to get in the parking garage at Kings Harbor. Waiting there about 10 minutes the rain stopped so I thought I would continue on to Huffman.<\/p>\n

Normally I ride on the W. Lake Houston Parkway bridge shoulder but I decided to ride on the trail\/sidewalk on the northbound side. By the time I got to the bridge it was raining lightly and as I crossed the river\/lake it did not let up. When I reached Kings River Drive I turned around and headed back home. It sprinkled on me all the way. As I write this it is raining heavier than when I was biking so I am glad I turned back.<\/p>\n

I keep drying out my bike shoes and I hope they can survive all of the water I am putting them in. For myself, mildew may be a problem. Tomorrow (Friday) the forecast calls for more rain maybe as much as 5″ in some areas.<\/p>\n

The route I did manage to ride came to 15.62 miles<\/strong>. I include the ride metrics but this was not much exercise.<\/p>\n
