I left the long sleeve jersey at home and didn&#8217;t miss it on today&#8217;s bike ride. The clear blue sky, 83 degree temperature and SSW 9 mph breeze combined to make this an abnormal November bicycling day. I didn&#8217;t bike on this date last year probably because the weather was not near today&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>Making good time and feeling strong I skipped the rest break when I came to the Stripes station on FM1314 and Valley Ranch Parkway. I stopped for the traffic light to change and then rode across FM1314. This came at the 22.1 mile point of what ended up as a <strong>33.24 mile<\/strong> long bike ride around 1:31 PM. The ride began at 11:51 and finished at 2:08. It didn&#8217;t take very long to ride from the Stripes station to the end. I usually allow 45 minutes for the last 11 miles but today I kept my overall average speed at 15.5 mph for about 10 miles until I rode into Kingwood when it slowly declined.<\/p>\n<p>No other bicyclists along the route today. They missed the beautiful weather but they probably have to work.<\/p>\n<p>One more day before the forecasted &#8220;cold&#8221; front arrives on Friday. Tomorrow should be a repeat of today. Today&#8217;s weather at the end of the ride.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/11-16-2016-Home-Weather-Finish-218PM.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"34522\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/2016\/11\/16\/83-degree-short-sleeve-jersey-bike-ride\/11-16-2016-home-weather-finish-218pm\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/11-16-2016-Home-Weather-Finish-218PM.jpg?fit=1297%2C1052&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1297,1052\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Rick Ankrum&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1479305988&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"11-16-2016-home-weather-finish-218pm\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/11-16-2016-Home-Weather-Finish-218PM.jpg?fit=555%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/11-16-2016-Home-Weather-Finish-218PM.jpg?fit=740%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-34522\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/11-16-2016-Home-Weather-Finish-218PM.jpg?resize=648%2C525\" alt=\"Weather conditions\" width=\"648\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/11-16-2016-Home-Weather-Finish-218PM.jpg?resize=740%2C600&amp;ssl=1 740w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/11-16-2016-Home-Weather-Finish-218PM.jpg?resize=592%2C480&amp;ssl=1 592w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/11-16-2016-Home-Weather-Finish-218PM.jpg?resize=555%2C450&amp;ssl=1 555w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/11-16-2016-Home-Weather-Finish-218PM.jpg?w=1297&amp;ssl=1 1297w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 648px) 100vw, 648px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>[iframe https:\/\/www.relive.cc\/view\/777404776 75% 400px]<\/p>\n<p>[iframe https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/777404776\/embed\/0005c9836f1f128e49e6b7706fef213a1ee3e6ef 590px 405px]<\/p>\n<p>[iframe http:\/\/rwgps-embeds.com\/trips\/11940912\/embed 600px 600px]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c  no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 316px; left: 20px;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A great short sleeve jersey bike ride day on the &#8220;New Caney &#8211; Tavola &#8211; Valley Ranch&#8221; cycling route.
