Because of this I got a slightly earlier start on today&#8217;s bike ride leaving home at 10:56. The temperature registered 84 under a mostly cloudy sky. Wind was not a problem at 7 mph from the south. I rode to the north on the &#8220;New Caney &#8211; Gene Campbell Road&#8221; route for a total of <strong>37.82 miles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>I thought schools would be closed but the New Caney ISD schools were in session while the Humble ISD schools were not. Since I left earlier I got in front of the traffic when school lets out getting home at 2:23. By then the temperature moved up to 91 degrees. Supposedly a &#8220;cool&#8221; front will pass through later tonight lowering temperatures a few degrees. We might even get some badly needed rain. This should be finished in time to ride tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>The ride on Gene Campbell Road went smoothly and I increased my speed with some protection from the trees lining the south side of the road. I stopped at the truck entrance to the WalMart distribution center.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/10-12-2015-Bike-ride-1.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"31195\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/2015\/10\/12\/columbus-day-bike-ride\/10-12-2015-bike-ride-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/10-12-2015-Bike-ride-1.jpg?fit=4160%2C3120&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"4160,3120\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1039348800&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.79&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;101&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.000765110941086&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"10-12-2015 Bike ride-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/10-12-2015-Bike-ride-1.jpg?fit=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/10-12-2015-Bike-ride-1.jpg?fit=800%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-31195\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/10-12-2015-Bike-ride-1.jpg?resize=640%2C480\" alt=\"10-12-2015 Bike ride-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/10-12-2015-Bike-ride-1.jpg?resize=800%2C600&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/10-12-2015-Bike-ride-1.jpg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/10-12-2015-Bike-ride-1.jpg?resize=150%2C113&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/10-12-2015-Bike-ride-1.jpg?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/10-12-2015-Bike-ride-1.jpg?w=2400 2400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/10-12-2015-Bike-ride-1.jpg?w=3600 3600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>From there it was about 6 1\/2 miles to the Stripes station where I stopped for a rest break.
