The spring weather continues making for a nice day to ride a bike. I chose the “Atascocita – Huffman – Walden” route which changes the direction for the middle parts of the route compared to the “Atascocita – Walden – Huffman” route. The bike ride was 33.55 miles<\/strong> long which pushes the week total to 140.94 miles<\/strong>. Wheels started rolling at 12:27 pm and finished at 2:54 pm.<\/p>\n

Weather: start 76 (52% humidity) Clear, wind SE 16 mph, gusts 22 mph. Finish 78 (50% humidity) Clear, wind SE 20 mph.<\/p>\n

That nasty wind was a challenge when I rode into it but at least riding over Lake Houston it wasn’t trying to grab the wheels and push me around. My wardrobe choice: shorts, long sleeve and short sleeve jerseys provided the proper warmth even in the shade.<\/p>\n

Two other cyclists spotted. The first was on Old Atascocita Road just west of FM 2100 and the second was ahead of me by a couple hundred yards riding west over Lake Houston. I thought I might catch him but he turned right onto Atascocita Shores Drive while I turned left.<\/p>\n

The sun felt great but it could become cloudy next few days for biking.<\/p>\n
