Another hot day of biking. I did start a little earlier than yesterday as I punched the start button on the Elemnt at 10:15. As I rode around Kingwood preparing to exit I felt a coolness whenever I rode in the shade. I knew this wouldn’t last long though as I headed to I-69\/US59 to ride the “New Caney – Gene Campbell Road” route. Today I biked 36.90 miles<\/strong> moving within 54 miles<\/strong> of my July goal of 765 miles<\/strong>. YTD miles total 4,747<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Nothing unusual on today’s ride. I did not see any other bikers either. I did have a big bug smack my sunglasses as I was riding on FM1314 making a loud pop and surprising me.<\/p>\n

The rest stop today was at the Cumberland Shell station. It came at 22.5 miles into the ride. The shade and Gatorade washing down a Clif bar was refreshing as I prepared to ride the 14+ miles to home.<\/p>\n

Wind was not much of an issue to today at 3 mph from the south. I was producing lots of sweat when I stopped at the rest stop. I used many paper towels to dry off some. I left there around 12:22 riding southeast towards Porter. I was making good time and keeping my average speed at 15.0 mph. Once I got to Kings Manor I had to slow for stop signs and traffic and it started dropping to 14.4 mph when I finished at 1:28.<\/p>\n

I will finish watching stage 19 of TdF now. It appears Froome has it in the bag.<\/p>\n
