When I got up this morning and went into the breakfast area I thought I had been time shifted to the middle of October instead of September 6th. During the night a cool front passed through dropping .19″ of rain and the temperature to 69 degrees. By the time I was ready to leave for the bike ride it had “jumped” up to 72 degrees and I opted to wear a long sleeve jersey. Walking out the door I could feel the coolness and when I pushed the start button on the Elemnt computer at 9:55 AM and began moving I was glad I made the long sleeve jersey choice. For the first 4 or 5 miles of the ride I felt chilly but the sun made its way through the mostly cloudy sky and it started to warm up some. By the time I finished the ride the sun was shining and the temperature was up to 80 degrees when normally this early in September it would be in the lower 90’s.<\/p>\n

With all of the Hurricane Harvey cleanup to the south I chose the “Kingwood-Community Drive-Valley Ranch” route to the north. This is a shorter route than usual with only 27.3 miles<\/strong>. My wife has a doctor appointment at 1:30 and doesn’t like to drive the Jeep Wrangler so I needed to be back home in time to take her.<\/p>\n

Not long after I started the ride I glanced down at the Elemnt computer and saw the cadence was not showing up. I checked to see if the sensor was transmitting and it did not show up. Time to change the battery, I guess. Somehow though the Strava data includes cadence average and max; not sure where that came from.<\/p>\n

Not much happened along the route until I rode through Valley Ranch and had to wait a minute or so for the Montgomery County Precinct 4 work crew to load up a cut down tree. I don’t know if this was a victim of Harvey or it was just time to fall.<\/p>\n

No rest stop today with the time constraint. I could’ve used one from fighting the 12 mph NE wind but once I headed back south it was mostly a tailwind.<\/p>\n
