Today&#8217;s weather during the bike ride: start 80 (76% humidity) partly cloudy, finish 83 (71% humidity) mostly cloudy, wind calm. It was warm enough that I wore shorts and a short sleeve jersey, no long sleeves required. Sunscreen was applied. My pale arms will probably start to get tanned.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing unusual or outstanding along the route except the azaleas continue to bloom with extraordinary color. Maybe all of the rain from Hurricane Harvey fired them up?<\/p>\n<p>More good biking weather on Monday. Schools are back from spring break so traffic will be back. Also TXDot is starting work on the I-69\/US59 bridge over the San Jacinto river and I am not sure how this will affect my biking. Time will tell since the repairs could last until August.<\/p>\n<h2>SportTracks Bike Ride Summary (Click the image to enlarge and go to the live page)<\/h2>\n<p><a
