That didn&#8217;t deter me from biking so I set out on the &#8220;Atascocita South &#8211; Walden &#8211; Huffman&#8221; route and biked <strong>35.14 miles<\/strong>. This put me past my May goal of <strong>660 miles<\/strong> by <strong>1.81 miles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>For the first 10 miles I thought I might get caught in rain but the dark clouds went away replaced by gray ones and then some white clouds.<\/p>\n<p>The weather during the bike ride: start 83 (79% humidity), mostly cloudy, wind SE 9 mph. Finish 84 (58% humidity), mostly cloudy, wind SE 7 mph. I started biking at 11:11 am and finished at 1:45 pm. The usual attire: shorts and short sleeve jersey. Some places along the route looked like they got more rain and some a lot less if any at all. More rain is in the forecast for later today. The high humidity made for a muggie bike ride.<\/p>\n<p>I made a brief stop at the Huffman Chevron to take a drink and give my legs a minute to prepare for the ride west on FM 1960. I expected the wind to offer resistance but it turned out to not be too bad biking over Lake Houston.<\/p>\n<p>Rain might hang around for Tuesday but I plan on biking if there is some dry time.<\/p>\n<h2>SportTracks Bike Ride Summary<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/17767347\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"41706\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/2018\/05\/21\/dark-then-gray-changing-to-some-white-clouds-bike-ride\/5-21-2018-sporttracks-bike-ride-summary\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/5-21-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=1964%2C1029&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1964,1029\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Rick Ankrum&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1526912669&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"5-21-2018 SportTracks Bike Ride Summary\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/5-21-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=600%2C314&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/5-21-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=800%2C419&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-41706 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/5-21-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=1200%2C629\" alt=\"Bike Ride Summary\" width=\"1200\" height=\"629\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/5-21-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?w=1964&amp;ssl=1 1964w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/5-21-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=640%2C335&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/5-21-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=600%2C314&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/5-21-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=800%2C419&amp;ssl=1 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/1587214773\/embed\/5b9d6dc24f81fdd3bac13a68771a7e96fe456c54\" width=\"590\" height=\"405\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After last evening&#8217;s nice rain (1.55&#8243; at my home) today started out with some dark clouds floating around.
