Nothing exotic about today’s bike along the “Oakhurst – Valley Ranch” route. After getting home from church I start biking at 12:44 pm. This route is a good for a shorter ride coming in at 27.76 miles<\/strong> today. This puts this week at 245.45 miles<\/strong> and the month at 726.04 miles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The weather during the bike ride: start 83 (52% humidity), partly cloudy, wind SE 10 mph, gusts 24 mph. Finish 84 (47% humidity), Mostly cloudy, wind SE 17 mph. The wind wasn’t too bad until I made the turn to the east in Valley Ranch from Valley Ranch Parkway headed to I-69\/US59. From that point on the headwind required extra effort but I did manage to maintain my average speed at 14.4 mph until I go to Woodridge Forest. The winding streets and stop signs slow the riding.<\/p>\n

By the time I finished at 2:43 pm I imagine most of the MS 150 cyclists had made their way to Austin and getting ready for the return to their starting points.<\/p>\n

Monday’s forecast calls for cooler (high of 80) and still no rain. I plan to bike and finish out the month.<\/p>\n
