A rain storm passed through leaving .85&#8243; of rain at my house. By 10 AM the sun was out and I knew the streets would dry off quickly. By the time I left home at 12:30 it was hard to tell it had even rained as far as wet pavement went. Leaves and limbs dotted the landscape but did not cause a problem to ride. I wanted to ride at least 34 miles so I modified the &#8220;New Caney &#8211; Roman Forest &#8211; Valley Ranch&#8221; route to become the &#8220;New Caney &#8211; Tavola &#8211; Valley Ranch&#8221; route. At Roman Forest Blvd. I rode right and into the new planned community called Tavola. It has been awhile since I have been there. The number of houses increased and there is a new school. This route was <strong>34.6 miles<\/strong> meeting my goal. This moved my total for April up to <strong>713 miles<\/strong>, 59 miles short of my 772 mile goal. I won&#8217;t be able to ride tomorrow leaving Friday and Saturday. Friday&#8217;s weather forecast is good until 5 pm but Saturday looks like rain all day. I will see how far I can ride on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>I repeated my rest stop again by stopping at the Oakhurst Community Recreation Center. The shade and bench were great as the light breeze moved through the trees. I took this picture of my Edge 520 when I stopped there and the weather while I ate a snack.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/4-27-2016-Oakhurst-Pool-1-e1461791450858.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"32969\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/2016\/04\/27\/exploring-tavola-bike-ride\/4-27-2016-oakhurst-pool-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/4-27-2016-Oakhurst-Pool-1-e1461791450858.jpg?fit=4000%2C2992&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"4000,2992\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Nexus 6P&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1461767319&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.67&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;179&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.007993&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"4-27-2016 Oakhurst Pool-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/4-27-2016-Oakhurst-Pool-1-e1461791450858.jpg?fit=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/4-27-2016-Oakhurst-Pool-1-e1461791450858.jpg?fit=800%2C598&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-32969\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/4-27-2016-Oakhurst-Pool-1-e1461791450858-800x598.jpg?resize=640%2C478\" alt=\"4-27-2016 Oakhurst Pool-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/4-27-2016-Oakhurst-Pool-1-e1461791450858.jpg?resize=800%2C598&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/4-27-2016-Oakhurst-Pool-1-e1461791450858.jpg?resize=150%2C112&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/4-27-2016-Oakhurst-Pool-1-e1461791450858.jpg?resize=400%2C299&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/4-27-2016-Oakhurst-Pool-1-e1461791450858.jpg?w=2400 2400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/4-27-2016-Oakhurst-Pool-1-e1461791450858.jpg?w=3600 3600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/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\\\/27\\\/exploring-tavola-bike-ride\\\/&quot;,&quot;likes_blog_id&quot;:1066296}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 1200px;
