I tried out a different head scarf today. This is a tube scarf and I used it like a pirate with a tail at the back. I did not get any sweat on my glasses and the sweat flowed down the side of my face dripping off my chin when I dipped my head. I am not real impressed with the scarf compared to the Headsweat bands. The wind cooling effect was not as apparent as the Headsweat band. When I stopped at the Huffman Chevron I did feel the moisture dripping from the tail of the scarf. I will probably use the scarf a couple more times to be sure. At least the money I paid was not so much, $7.62 for 2 of the scarfs.<\/p>\n

The ride to Huffman began at 11:05 after I finished watching the Tdf. It was 86 degrees with a light 5 mph breeze and partly cloudy sky. The ride to Huffman went as usual without any problems. It was nice to ride in the sunshine and as long as I was moving I felt comfortable. Whenever I stopped it didn’t take long for the sweat to gather on my arms and face. I didn’t see another biker until I was on the way back home on Kings River Drive just before coming to W. Lake Houston Parkway. I got home at 1:54 with the temperature standing at 91 and the humidity a not so bad 55%. The wind was calm.<\/p>\n

Today’s ride was 33.15 miles<\/strong> long at a 15.7 mph average speed. Other mile markers:<\/p>\n
