I reached that milestone on my Stradalli RP-14 Carbon bike with today&#8217;s ride on the &#8220;Kingwood &#8211; Hare Cook Road &#8211; Kingwood&#8221; route. The first ride on the Stradalli was March 19th 2014. Back then I rode the &#8220;Atascocita &#8211; Walden &#8211; Huffman&#8221; route, my most frequently used route. One memory about that first ride; I had a flat tire before I left for the ride at mile 0. Not the problem now. My current set of tires have almost 4,000 miles on them. Today I biked <strong>44.62 miles<\/strong> and the 6th time I biked this route in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>The weather continues to be slightly cooler than last week with 94 degrees when I go home at 2:06. It was 88 degrees when I left home at 1:24. The sky to the southeast looked a darker gray but no rain on today&#8217;s ride unlike yesterday&#8217;s last 2 miles. When I was riding south on Ramsey Road (east of FM2100) I thought I might be getting closer to the rain but I turned west on Stroker Road and moved away. Later at the Huffman Chevron the clouds to the east looked heavy but still no rain where I was. I got to the Chevron station about 12:45 and stayed until 1:18. This was at the 32.9 mile point of the ride. The weather screenshots while I was at the Chevron station.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"1200\" data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:1,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.texbiker.net\\\/blog\\\/2015\\\/08\\\/18\\\/10017-miles-in-the-book\\\/&quot;,&quot;likes_blog_id&quot;:1066296}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 1200px;
