My father died 10 years ago but he made a lasting impression on me. One that really sticks with me came from when we worked together on a project. He said the job wasn&#8217;t finished until the work area was clean and the tools put away. I have the same saying. I miss my father but the memories are still with me.<\/p>\n<p>The weather was hot and sticky; 95 degrees and 58% humidity. An overcast sky kept the sun at bay. I thought of this as a recovery ride from yesterday&#8217;s 43+ mile ride. Today I biked <strong>28.53 miles<\/strong> bringing the total for the week to 183.55 miles, June totals 658.92 miles and 2891 miles for the year. 310 miles to reach my goal for June. I will need several 40+ mile rides to get there with 9 days left.<\/p>\n<p>Several families were out biking on the greenbelt trails but I didn&#8217;t see any other bicyclists on the roads.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_30038\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/6-21-2015-Home-Weather-Finish.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30038\" data-attachment-id=\"30038\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/2015\/06\/21\/fathers-day-ride\/6-21-2015-home-weather-finish\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/6-21-2015-Home-Weather-Finish.jpg?fit=1534%2C597&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1534,597\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Rick Ankrum&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1434896090&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"6-21-2015 Home Weather Finish\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Home weather at the end of the ride&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/6-21-2015-Home-Weather-Finish.jpg?fit=600%2C234&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/6-21-2015-Home-Weather-Finish.jpg?fit=800%2C311&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-30038 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/6-21-2015-Home-Weather-Finish.jpg?resize=640%2C249\" alt=\"Home weather at the end of the ride\" width=\"640\" height=\"249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/6-21-2015-Home-Weather-Finish.jpg?resize=800%2C311&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/6-21-2015-Home-Weather-Finish.jpg?resize=600%2C234&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/6-21-2015-Home-Weather-Finish.jpg?resize=150%2C58&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/6-21-2015-Home-Weather-Finish.jpg?resize=400%2C156&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/6-21-2015-Home-Weather-Finish.jpg?w=1534&amp;ssl=1 1534w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-30038\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Home weather at the end of the ride<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Wind varied greatly from the IAH airport weather to my home weather station.
