The most notable thing about today’s bike ride was getting started at 9:55 am which is about an hour or more earlier than usual. Stage 20 of the Giro d’Italia ended around 9 am which meant I didn’t need to hang around before bicycling.<\/p>\n

Choosing the “Kingwood – SH 242 – Kingwood” route I biked 35.32 miles<\/strong> putting May at 803.06 miles<\/strong> and the week at 176.39 miles<\/strong>. This route offers long sections without interruptions which helps with average speed and time to cover the miles. Traffic lights cooperated as well, I think I did not need to stop any. Very unusual.<\/p>\n

Weather during the bike ride: start 83 (74% humidity, mostly cloudy, wind SW 10 mph. Finish 90 (60% humidity), mostly cloudy, wind 4 mph. Shorts and short sleeve jersey were just right. I did sweat thanks to the humidity level.<\/p>\n

Rest stop at the Valero station on Northpark Drive at 28.1 miles into the bike ride. I ate a couple of granola bars and ice water. Sitting in the shade felt good but the light breeze seemed to stop while I was sitting. One man commented on how good the Canyon bike looked and asked about my ride.<\/p>\n

Finished the bike ride at 12:36 pm which is earlier than normal thanks to the early start.<\/p>\n

Weather forecast is a repeat of today for Sunday. Not sure if I ride though.<\/p>\n
