Another scorcher in the Houston area. When I walked into the house after today’s ride my home weather station showed 99 degrees. I could feel it out on the road too. I chose the “New Caney – Tavola – Valley Ranch” route which was a few miles shorter than yesterday’s ride coming in at 34.82 miles<\/strong>. This moved my August miles to 145 and year to date to 4998. As hot as it has been I would expect the asphalt roads to show some stress but so far I haven’t noticed any.<\/p>\n

The start was later than I prefer with the heat but I was delayed by my appointment with the Harris County Appraisal District to protest my property market value. I got back home around 11:15 and started biking at 11:51. I finished riding at 2:52 and after I write this and take a shower I will watch the Tour of Utah.<\/p>\n

A rest stop was in order and I stopped at the Porter Stripes about 1:27 and 23.6 miles into the ride. I rested about 30 minutes and then back on the bike for the 11+ miles to home.<\/p>\n

While I was at the Stripes station I chatted with a man who stopped at the gas pump nearby. We talked about where I ride and where he does. I gave him a Texbiker business card.<\/p>\n

I should ride earlier tomorrow and the weather is on the repeat cycle.<\/p>\n

Home weather at the end of the ride<\/h3>\n
