I wasn&#8217;t planning on riding today but after Friday&#8217;s bike ride I only needed 18 miles to hit 200 for the week and to position me to ride 900+ for the month if I ride Monday and Tuesday. So I couldn&#8217;t pass the opportunity. It was 95 as I rolled out on the &#8220;Atascocita &#8211; Walden&#8221; route to ride at least 18 miles. By the time I finished at 2:04 pm it was 97 and I rode <strong>22.26 miles<\/strong> putting the week at <strong>204.48 miles<\/strong> and July at <strong>842.92 miles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Home

a problem during the bike ride. Lots of sun and that equals lots of sweat. I appreciated riding in the shade whenever it came up. Trees hanging over the street are welcomed. More hot and dry on Monday and Tuesday which is why I wanted to shorten the miles needed to hit 900+ for July. No rain in sight for many days unless a stray shower happens.<\/p>\n<h2>SportTracks Bike Ride Summary<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/18331395\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"43385\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/2018\/07\/29\/afternoon-heat-and-200-mile-week-bike-ride\/7-29-2018-sporttracks-bike-ride-summary\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/7-29-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=1971%2C1037&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1971,1037\" 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;1532875618&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=\"7-29-2018 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\/7-29-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=600%2C316&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/7-29-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=800%2C421&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-43385 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/7-29-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=1200%2C631&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"SportTracks Bike Ride Summary\" width=\"1200\" height=\"631\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/7-29-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?w=1971&amp;ssl=1 1971w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/7-29-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=640%2C337&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/7-29-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=600%2C316&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/7-29-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=800%2C421&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\/1736445384\/embed\/95ee8100f46c1c34755ab1d48594c9cb2486057d\" width=\"590\" height=\"405\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This time of the year in southeast Texas you pay the price for starting a bike ride at 12:24 pm.
