I tried to to leave on today’s ride before 10 AM but just couldn’t get out the door until 10:01. That’s close enough. I rode the “FM1960 to FM686 – Back Extended” route for a total of 43.34 miles. Within the first 7 miles I saw three other cyclists and later I saw one on the\u00c2\u00a0 FM1960 causeway over Lake Houston. I thought that would be it but on the way back home I saw another cyclist riding the opposite direction on the Lake Houston causeway.<\/p>\n

The weather was great, almost fall like again. It was 88 degrees at the beginning and 91 when i finished at 1:44. I took advantage of the Vuelta a Espana rest day for the early start time.<\/p>\n

I extended the route by adding the Fairlake Drive, Old Atascocita Road and FM2100 roads to the route. Wind wasn’t too bad and I made good time. A short stop at the Shell station at FM686 was the only interruption until I made the usual rest stop at the Huffman Chevron. I got to the Chevron station at 12:19 and left at 12:53. My Elemnt screen on arrival and the weather while I was resting in the shade.<\/p>\n

I was hoping to ride at least 43 miles and I made it.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow’s weather looks like a repeat of today’s. I plan on biking then.<\/p>\n
