Sometimes plans don’t work out the way you expect. I didn’t start today’s bike ride quite as early as I want leaving at 8:22 am on the “Atascocita – Huffman – Walden” route. I wanted to ride at least 29 miles to get 200+ miles for the week. This part of the plan worked out with 32.58 miles<\/strong> setting the week at 204.5 miles<\/strong>. This is the seventh week in a row of 200+ miles. August now stands at 785.64 miles<\/strong> just 15 miles short of my 800 mile goal.<\/p>\n

Weather during the bike ride:start 77 (92% humidity), a few clouds, wind calm. Finish 95 (55% humidity), partly cloudy, wind calm.<\/p>\n

Leaving around 8 am on Saturday positions me on the east side of Lake Houston to see the Bike Barn riders returning from their loop. 22 minutes later means some riders have passed where I join their path at FM 1960 and Atascocita Shores Drive. This morning as I was standing at the traffic light at that intersection I saw bikers approaching from the east. Moving over to the grass on the left I took these photos. Everyone didn’t go to the Hotter’n Hell 100 in Wichita Falls.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
