A late start on today’s bike ride (3:32 pm) and it was hot, 98 degrees. Sometimes plans do not come together. Yesterday was a scheduled rest day and I planned on bicycling today but yesterday when I took my wife to the medical center the treatment center forgot to order one of her drugs so we went back today for the treatment. I wanted to ride 200+ miles this week and if I didn’t ride today it would be very difficult to get that many miles. So after her treatment we stopped at McDonald’s in Kingwood and then I got ready to ride. Usually I am finished riding by now so I selected a route I thought would be 25 miles or more. Today’s route, “Kingwood-Community Drive-Valley Ranch”, turned out to be 27.3 miles<\/strong> long boosting this week to 154.6 miles<\/strong>. The last time I rode this route was 3\/28\/2012.<\/p>\n

Riding through Woodridge Forest in\u00c2\u00a0 section under construction I took these pictures. I rode my Blue Norcross AL bike for variety and because the ride was shorter than normal.<\/p>\n

The house are along the new streets added in the western end of Woodridge Forest creating the new exit from there. They don’t show up on my Elemnt computer when I look at the map screen. On a ride I need to write the street names down and add them to the maps. One name is Broad Turtle Drive.<\/p>\n

Besides being hot the scattered clouds didn’t block out much sun, glad I wore sunscreen. I wore a new Primal Wear jersey, “Bike Print Red”, that I bought on clearance.<\/p>\n

I bought two other jerseys and will rotate them into the wear cycle.<\/p>\n

If I ride 35 miles tomorrow and 25\u00c2\u00a0 miles on Sunday I will reach my 200+ mile goal for the week. Now if that plan comes together June miles will be ahead of schedule for my goal. The weather will be hot and dry; maybe isolated showers.<\/p>\n
