Just before I arrived at Stripes a lady cyclist passed going north on Valley Ranch Parkway and we exchanged hello.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to ride by the house where I had the dog chase earlier and the dog wasn&#8217;t outside. Now I can ride by there but be attentive.<\/p>\n<p>Overall average speed was up 14.5 mph for most of the ride until Kings Manor and entering back into Kingwood.<\/p>\n<p>No bike ride on Saturday, have another activity with my wife and relatives.
