This lasted until after 11 o&#8217;clock when the sky started to clear up some. The streets were drying off and after grocery shopping I got out the door at 2:11 with 80 degrees and mostly cloudy skies. This was later than I normally want to ride so I shorten the Atascocita &#8211; Walden &#8211; Huffman route by 2 miles, riding <strong>30.3 miles<\/strong> in 1:57:29. Average speed topped out at 15.6 mph and drifted down to 15.3 at the finish. With 3 rides this week I am at <strong>107.62 miles<\/strong>, <strong>238.74 miles<\/strong> in March and <strong>673 miles<\/strong> year to date.<\/p>\n<p>Finally the temperature is warming up. When I got back home it was 84 degrees which was greatly appreciated since I wore a short sleeve jersey and shorts. At the start I was thinking maybe a long sleeve jersey would have been better but as I warmed up I changed my mind.<\/p>\n<p>My legs weren&#8217;t as tired as I thought they would be after yesterday&#8217;s 45 mile. I was able to power through some of the ups and downs. The average speed went up and down but I was able to keep it at 15.6 until I got back into Kingwood for the last 2 or so miles home.<\/p>\n<p>Two other bikers were out: one on the causeway over Lake Houston and the other one I looked in my rear view mirror on Kingwood Green in time to see him turn left behind me onto a side street but close enough to say hi.<\/p>\n<p>[iframe https:\/\/connect.garmin.com\/activity\/embed\/723234483 465px 500px] [iframe https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/270394111\/embed\/d398bb1f24ec7c3b56fb5025d2f13e806bdee144 590px 500px]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I woke up this morning the predicted rain was coming down lightly.
