I am back on a streak of 5 days riding in a row. That has been tough to do this month with plenty of other things going on. In my quest to reach my goal for the month I rode the “New Caney – Tavola – Valley Ranch” route for a total of 33.6 miles<\/strong>. This puts the week at 187.3 miles<\/strong> with a strong chance to exceed 200 miles. I haven’t done that since the week of August 7-13. I need to bike 344 miles the rest of the month to get my YTD to 6000 miles. Unless the weather craters I stand a good chance of getting there. I revised my goal for September from 300 miles to 700 to\u00c2\u00a0 reflect my chasing the YTD total.<\/p>\n

The ride started at 11:01 AM and finished at 1:53 PM. Temperature at the start: 84 with 76% humidity. Temperature at the finish: 90 with 61% humidity. Scattered clouds and an 8 mph wind from the SE.<\/p>\n

I wasn’t planning on a rest stop but my legs said otherwise so I stopped a the Stripes station at 22.4 miles. I refilled my water bottle and sat under the pump canopy for about 20 minutes before resuming the ride. The shade and breeze felt good.<\/p>\n

Nothing really caught my attention during the ride. My timing was good to avoid the school traffic.<\/p>\n

According to Strava my Stradalli Red Pro 14 bike has 24,572 miles ridden. Looking at it doesn’t show that and all of the drive train still works great. Shimano Ultegra is hard to beat.<\/p>\n

Yesterday I mailed the Power Pod back to Velocomp for replacement. I hope to get the new one late next week. They are in south Florida and were hard hit by Hurricane Irma.<\/p>\n

The dry weather and moderate temperatures should continue as I will riding tomorrow.<\/p>\n
