I did not delay the ride to watch the Tour de Portugal but I did watch the Vuelta de Burgos which started earlier. The ride started at 11:10 and I finished at 2:28. I rode <strong>37.3 miles<\/strong> pushing the week to <strong>71 miles<\/strong> leaving 129 miles to reach 200 for the week. No flat tires today and the rear tire still is rock hard proving that I can fix a flat but it may take several tries.<\/p>\n<p>I stopped at the Cumberland Shell station on FM1314 for a break. It was hot and the shade was refreshing. My preferred fruit punch Gatorade was out and I settled for blue Powerade. I was there for about 35 minutes before leaving for the 14+ miles to home.<\/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\\\/08\\\/02\\\/august-heat-new-caney-gene-campbell-road-bike-ride\\\/&quot;,&quot;likes_blog_id&quot;:1066296}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 1200px;
