Bike Ride"},"content":{"rendered":"

Today’s bike ride got a late start (12:04 pm) due to my working with my church’s men’s group repairing items at two homes. By then the weather had time to heat up which it did. I decided to ride the “Atascocita – Huffman – Walden” route and rode 32.61 miles<\/strong>. This puts the week total at 180.16 miles<\/strong> and June at 67.15 miles<\/strong>, 8% of the way towards the 800 mile goal. It was kind of strange to clean up to go biking.<\/p>\n

Weather during the bike ride: start 91 (62% humidity), mostly cloudy, wind S 10 mph. Finish 95 (47% humidity), mostly cloudy, wind S 7 mph.<\/p>\n

As I rode along Kingwood Drive near the old HEB building a man riding a trike recumbent came towards me and we pass on the greenbelt trail. I had navigate heavy traffic at two village pools that had swim meets going on, Bear Branch and Kings River. I used to go to those but thankfully my time has passed. As I rode by some people had little rooms setup with fans and other devices to keep cool.<\/p>\n

Arriving in Huffman I took a break at the Chevron station even though it was only 18.2 miles into the ride. I ate some Fig Newtons and drank ice water. It was restful sitting in the shade on the Dean Foods milk crate watching the traffic go by. After about 20 minutes I was back on the Canyon heading west.<\/p>\n

Riding along FM 1960 I noticed something hanging down from the nose piece of my glasses. Not being near a shady place I waited until one came along on Pinehurst Trail. Removing the glasses I saw that part of the nose piece was torn and dangling which is what caught my attention. When I got home I applied some silicone sealant hoping that would glue the piece back where it belongs but that didn’t work. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next I tried some Continental rim cement which does not appear to be working either. Maybe Gorilla glue? I will need to buy some. I have a backup pair so I will be wearing them until I figure out a fix.<\/p>\n

Finishing the bike ride at 2:46 pm it felt good to be inside with the A\/C cool air.<\/p>\n

More heat and dry weather on Sunday. I plan on biking to get to 200+ miles for the week.<\/p>\n
