I wasn’t the only biker out today along the “Atascocita – Walden – Huffman” route. I left later than normal (1:44) after helping my wife in her craft room. Earlier today I wasn’t sure if I would bike today with the weather forecast showing a chance of rain but it didn’t happen. When I left on the ride the sky was mostly cloudy and the temperature was 79 degrees. The wind was light from the east.<\/p>\n

Riding in Kingwood Greens I stopped at these beautiful azaleas. The golf course is in the background. (click on the image to enlarge it)<\/p>\n

The first biker was riding east over Lake Houston on FM1960 when I rode past him as I called out “on your left”. He was waving a safari hat above his hear as he ran his hand over his hair. After I turned south onto Fairlake Drive I saw 3 bikers as I rode through the big bend by the marina. They were going the opposite direction from me. The first rider popped around the corner faster than I could get my hand off the bars to wave or call out hi. The next two I waved at and said hello since I was through the corner enough to see them in advance.<\/p>\n

The Huffman Chevron station was a good place to take a break. I stopped to drink some Powerade, eat a trail mix bar, granola bar and miniature cinnamon rolls. I didn’t ride the extra 2 miles before leaving Kingwood putting my mileage a little lower. A screenshot of my Edge 520.<\/p>\n

Sitting in the sun while I ate and rested I didn’t get too hot. The time and temperature sign across FM1960 showed 79 to 80 degrees. My phone screen shots of the weather.<\/p>\n

From the Chevron I rode west to get back home. To try to ride 31+ miles I took some side streets off of Atascocita Shores Drive after I turned north from FM1960. I got home at 4:23. The temperature was 85 degrees at home. I wore my summer wardrobe: shorts and short sleeve jersey. tomorrow for the Grand Parkway Ride I think I will need to bundle up with the high in the upper 50’s during the morning until noon when I will ride. There is a chance of rain but it falls off around 2AM.<\/p>\n

March miles stand at 423 towards my 631 mile goal.<\/p>\n
