Kingwood Trails"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>After yesterday&#8217;s ride my muscles were sore today. So what do I do? I decided to ride my 32 pound mountain bike on the Kingwood trails. I am not sure that was a good idea but the trails were gorgeous as was the weather; a clear blue sky, a light breeze and 77 degrees. Whenever I went up a small incline (we don&#8217;t have any big ones) my legs complained and slowed down in protest but I kept at it. After watching the Tour of Flanders video I was inspired by Peter Sagan and didn&#8217;t want to sit at home to let my muscles recover.<\/p>\n<p>As I was riding the heavy MTB I thought maybe it is time to get a gravel grinder or cyclocross bike. They are light and can handle the bumps on the Kingwood trails and my legs would not complain as much.<\/p>\n<p>Waiting for a little later time to start I left home at 2:12 and finished at 3:59. The different weather shots when I finished riding.<\/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\\\/2016\\\/04\\\/03\\\/recovery-bike-ride-kingwood-trails\\\/&quot;,&quot;likes_blog_id&quot;:1066296}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 1200px;
