The temperature was 80 degrees when I left home at 12:08 to ride the &#8220;New Caney &#8211; Tavola &#8211; Valley Ranch&#8221; route. A bright blue sky and light breeze completed the picture perfect weather setting. I almost chose the thermal long sleeve jersey but changed my mind and went with a regular long sleeve jersey under a short sleeve one. The choice proved to be good as I was comfortable whether I rode in the shade or sun.<\/p>\n<p>No other bikers along the route today. No rest stops either. The water in my bottle was cold until I drank the last of it at the end of the bike ride (2:36).<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s <strong>34.37 miles<\/strong> boosted my monthly total to <strong>392.91 miles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing unusual to report during the ride. The new headset bearings makes steering effortless. Soon I will replace the chain and rear cassette, probably at the 20,000 mile point in about 250 miles.<\/p>\n<p>Next bike ride day will be Friday.<\/p>\n<h3>Links to <a href=\"https:\/\/ridewithgps.com\/trips\/13078086\">RideWithGPS.com<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/876154917\">Strava.com<\/a>.<\/h3>\n<h3>Weather at the airport at the start and finish followed by my home weather at the finish<\/h3>\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\\\/2017\\\/02\\\/22\\\/gorgeous-bike-ride-weather\\\/&quot;,&quot;likes_blog_id&quot;:1066296}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 1200px;
