I was beginning to think I wouldn’t see any fellow cyclists on today’s bike ride until 10 to 12 of them appeared on Old Atascocita Road. I started a little later than I planned because the temperature was in the 60’s and I wanted to wait some for it to warm up. This put me a little later than the other riders. At 9:30 AM I rolled out the driveway headed for the “Atascocita – Walden – Huffman” route. By then the temperature was 74 (70% humidity) under a nice clear blue sky. The wind was manageable at 7 mph though it accentuated the coolness a little. I was optimistic it would warm up and wore a short sleeve jersey though I was tempted to don a long sleeve one. As the ride progressed the sun warmed the air and by the time I finished at 11:45 AM it was 84.<\/p>\n

For variety I rode the Blue Norcross AL bike which rolled smoothly over the bumps with the wider tires.<\/p>\n

No rest stop today since the cooler temperatures lowered my thirst leaving enough water for the whole ride of 31.2 miles<\/strong>. I wanted to get back in time to watch the Astros play the Boston Red Sox but just in case the DVR was on duty to record it. Closing out September I rode 803 miles<\/strong> and am at 6,083 miles<\/strong> YTD. (September ride summary below) In years past September was vacation month so I rode less than this year, around 300 to 400 miles.<\/p>\n

I will take a rest day tomorrow as October begins.<\/p>\n
