A shorter ride today due to time constraints. I watched stage 17 of the Tour before leaving home at 11:09. Sadly I saw Tejay withdraw from the tour and Alberto suffer a crash with bike problems. Fortunately I didn’t have any issues while biking the “Atascocita – Huffman” route. I biked 27.27 miles<\/strong> under a partly cloudy sky with the temperature in the mid to high 90’s. When I took a short rest break in Huffman at the Chevron station these are the weather screenshots:<\/p>\n

The 100 degrees is where I was heading in Kingwood. The hot breeze helped move the sweat away but it didn’t slow down the production of it. During my short 15 minute stop 7 paper towels and the shade were not enough to get me dry before heading off for the last 11 miles home. Today I rode with just a sweat band. Lately I put a sweat band under a head cover to see if that would redirect the sweat. The head cover worked okay but not great. The sweat band was almost as good plus I could feel the wind through my helmet vents.<\/p>\n

My home weather station after the ride.<\/p>\n

Earlier when I rode north on Atascocita Shores Drive to FM1960 I caught a glimpse of what looked like a tandem bike team on the other side of FM1960 riding away from me. The traffic blocked my view as they rode away from me. I turned to the right on FM1960 headed to Huffman. I didn’t see any other bikers.<\/p>\n

So far this year I rode this route 3 times. Here is a comparison of those rides.<\/p>\n

I am making progress on reaching my goal for July. I am up to 608.6 miles towards the 834 mile goal.<\/p>\n
