The wind let up today while I rode the “Atascocita – Walden – Huffman Extended” route to the southeast. The mostly cloudy sky though didn’t hold the temperature down as it was 88 degrees when I left home at 12:21. I think 90+ degree days are not too far away. The humidity was 62% to 70% depending on which station you want to take making it feel muggy until I was moving but whenever I stopped the sweat appeared quickly on my arms. My home weather station before I left home.<\/p>\n

Nothing really special about today’s ride except I rode the “extended” version of the route to add a couple of miles to the ride. The ride came in at 35.28 miles<\/strong> long. I arrived at the Huffman Chevron at 1:51 pm where I took a break before heading for home. My Edge 520 screen when I arrived at the station.<\/p>\n

From the Chevron station it would be another 14 miles to home. I made it past the elementary school on E. Lake Houston Parkway before the cars gathered to collect the children and Kingwood High School was already dismissed before I got to Kingwood Drive. I used the traffic light at W. Lake Houston Parkway to ride across the busy street arriving back home at 3:28. The weather had not changed much from when I started.<\/p>\n

The heat index hit 100 explaining why it felt hotter than yesterday.<\/p>\n

I am making progress reaching my mileage goal for May. (click on the image to enlarge it)<\/p>\n

Rain is in the forecast for tomorrow afternoon but I think it will miss our area. I am at 143 miles so far this week, riding each day so far. Hopefully I can keep the streak alive.<\/p>\n
