Lots of blue sky but about 10 degrees short of where my preferred riding temperature begins as I rode the “Atascocita – Walden – Huffman Extended” route. I added the “extended” to the route name to show that I added a loop north of FM1960 after I left the Huffman Chevron. I rode this route before but not this year. The mileage totaled 32.81 and compensated leaving off the couple of miles I typically add at the beginning of this route. I left home at 1:20 which is a little later than I wanted because I hoped the temperature would warm up a few more degrees. My home weather station showed 70 degrees but the Wunderground map showed 68 or so where I was headed. Thankfully the wind has died down from earlier in the week to 4 to 7 mph with lots of calm places. With the cooler temperature I dressed warm: shorts, long and short sleeve jerseys with a windbreaker jacket. I was comfortable except when I was in the shade for extended times.<\/p>\n

Apparently other bikers liked the weather too. I saw 8 to 10 bikers starting on Fairlake Drive just before the Old Atascocita Road intersection. After that I saw them along the route. As I riding through Walden, Atascocita, Fairlake Drive to FM2100 I saw route marker signs for the Clay Walker Band Against MS<\/strong><\/a>. For some reason I missed adding this ride to the Texbiker event calendar. I fixed that. I may do this ride since it starts about 15 miles from my house.<\/p>\n

Riding north on FM2100 I pulled into the Huffman Chevron for a quick break to eat a couple of trail mix bars and refill my water bottle. The Edge 520 screen.<\/p>\n

The weather while I was there. The sign company across FM1960 showed 68 degrees while I was at the Chevron Station. I was glad I sat in the sun.<\/p>\n
