To add a couple of extra miles I looped through Tavola north of New Caney and then rode in the shade along the railroad tracks to Woodbranch Village and then back to the service road. It wasn&#8217;t full heat yet and as long as I was moving I didn&#8217;t really notice how hot it was. With the route modification I biked <strong>37.38 miles<\/strong> bumping the week to <strong>170.56 miles<\/strong> and July to <strong>603.15 miles<\/strong>. The reason I wanted some extra miles on today&#8217;s ride was to position Saturday&#8217;s bike ride only needing 30 miles to hit 200+ for the week, mission accomplished on that. I need 197 miles to reach my 800 mile goal for July. YTD I am at <strong>4,625 miles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Weather during the bike ride: Weather: start 86 (73% humidity), mostly cloudy, wind SW 12 mph. Finish 94 (48% humidity), a few clouds, wind W 7 mph.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat:

Trees surround my home blocking the wind .<\/p>\n<p>Making the turn around at SH 242 I thought the wind would be a problem riding back to the south but I actually increased my overall average speed while riding south. I made a quick stop at the Mobil station in New Caney at FM 1485 to refill my water bottle to carry me to the Circle K\/Valero station at Northpark Drive.

Long enough to eat a Clif Bar, drink a bottle of water and check my email some. Sitting in the shade wasn&#8217;t that hot while I rested but the heat was coming. Getting back on the Canyon I rode across the parking lot, crossed Northpark and began biking to the Kingwood Drive u-turn. Earlier I thought about adding a side loop if I need to add another mile or so to the ride but it wasn&#8217;t necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Riding through Kings Manor and into Kingwood I appreciated the occasional shade. I finished the bike ride at 12:53 pm, about an hour earlier than yesterday&#8217;s longer ride. While I was biking I got a text message from the City of Houston alerting me about the extreme heat expected today. Glad I will miss that.<\/p>\n<h2>SportTracks Bike Ride Summary<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/18259799\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"43167\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/2018\/07\/20\/beat-the-extreme-heat-advisory-bike-ride\/7-20-2018-sporttracks-bike-ride-summary\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/7-20-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=1964%2C1028&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1964,1028\" 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;1532093272&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=\"7-20-2018 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\/07\/7-20-2018-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\/07\/7-20-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=800%2C419&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-43167 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/7-20-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=1200%2C628\" alt=\"SportTracks Bike Ride Summary\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/7-20-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?w=1964&amp;ssl=1 1964w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/7-20-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=640%2C335&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/7-20-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=600%2C314&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/7-20-2018-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\/1715712191\/embed\/b0c9187c25563bb38e28a77617327c99e43a7378\" width=\"590\" height=\"405\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Out of the driveway at 9:49 am to begin the bike ride following the &#8220;Kingwood &#8211; SH 242 &#8211; Kingwood&#8221; route.
