The sky looked threatening early in the morning but by the time I started (11:40 AM) the overcast sky was not so bad. From yesterday&#8217;s 93 degrees it dropped to 72 degrees when I started making me pull a long sleeve jersey from the closet. In the early miles I felt a chill but once I warmed up I probably could&#8217;ve worn a short sleeve jersey. Finishing at 2:10 PM the temperature improved to 79 degrees with the humidity not far from that (75%) making for a muggy ride.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s miles put me over my May goal of 300 miles by 10.66 miles. If the weather cooperates I hope to add more miles.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing out of the ordinary during the bike except for the flags displayed at many homes. There were a few &#8220;casual&#8221; bikers on the bike paths along the route. I used the new roads riding through Woodridge Forest. I wondered how they would be after last night&#8217;s rain but I didn&#8217;t see any difference from the last time.<\/p>\n<h3>Links to <a href=\"https:\/\/ridewithgps.com\/trips\/14921699\">RideWithGPS.com<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/1011774519\">Strava.com<\/a>.<\/h3>\n<h3>Strava Extended Statistics<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/5-29-2017-Strava-Extended-Statistics.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"36237\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/2017\/05\/29\/a-cooler-memorial-day-bike-ride\/5-29-2017-strava-extended-statistics\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/5-29-2017-Strava-Extended-Statistics.jpg?fit=885%2C1193&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"885,1193\" 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;1496068507&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=\"5-29-2017 Strava Extended Statistics\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/5-29-2017-Strava-Extended-Statistics.jpg?fit=334%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/5-29-2017-Strava-Extended-Statistics.jpg?fit=445%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36237\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/5-29-2017-Strava-Extended-Statistics.jpg?resize=885%2C1193\" alt=\"Strava Extended Statistics\" width=\"885\" height=\"1193\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/5-29-2017-Strava-Extended-Statistics.jpg?w=885&amp;ssl=1 885w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/5-29-2017-Strava-Extended-Statistics.jpg?resize=356%2C480&amp;ssl=1 356w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/5-29-2017-Strava-Extended-Statistics.jpg?resize=334%2C450&amp;ssl=1 334w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/5-29-2017-Strava-Extended-Statistics.jpg?resize=445%2C600&amp;ssl=1 445w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 885px) 100vw, 885px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I rode a Memorial Day bike ride on the &#8220;Kingwood &#8211; SH 242 &#8211; Kingwood&#8221; route totaling 34.39 miles.
