I fought the wind at times while biking on the “Atascocita South – Walden – Huffman” route. Whenever I rode south the wind tried to push me around and at times I almost thought it won. This route generally goes south and then east before turning back to the west and north. Before I left on the bike ride my wife asked if I was going to ride because the wind was moving the trees around. I didn’t think it was that strong but when I got to Huffman I made a quick stop at the Chevron station to look at the weather on my phone. This is what I saw.<\/p>\n

\"Huffman<\/a><\/p>\n

Those 24 mph gusts almost seemed regular. It wasn’t until I rode west over Lake Houston that I felt the full blast of the 24 mph gusts. Before that I rode in and out of wind break things like trees and buildings. The ride east over Lake Houston wasn’t into the wind and it actually helped me.<\/p>\n

The bike ride started at 11:52 with a partly cloudy sky and 81 degrees. I took advantage of the heat and wore a short sleeve jersey which probably will not be advisable tomorrow if I were to ride.<\/p>\n

Nothing unusual about today’s ride other than the wind. I finished at 2:12 avoiding any school traffic.<\/p>\n
