The sun beckoned me to ride today after staying inside yesterday due to rain. Other people braved the rain according to their activities on Strava.com but not me. After riding in the rain twice this week I opted for the indoors watching University of Cincinnati play Ohio University in a nail biter until the final 4 seconds.<\/p>\n
Today I rode my other bike, Blue Norcross AL, for something different since I decided to ride the “Atascocita – Walden” route going 23.6 miles<\/strong>. This was enough to reach 207.42 miles<\/strong> for the week, the first week over 200 miles after falling short the previous two weeks. For September I am at 566.69 miles<\/strong>, 134 miles<\/strong> short of my goal for September. The bike ride started at 12:38 pm after I got home from church and finished at 2:32 pm.<\/p>\n Weather during the bike ride: start 82 (72% humidity), mostly cloudy, wind W 7 mph. Finish 84 (67% humidity), mostly cloudy, wind w 9 mph. At the start while I rode the greenbelt trail I got a hint of fall weather because a “cool” front moved through the area early this morning. My jersey wasn’t wet from perspiration yet and riding in the shade made me think of needing a long sleeve jersey. I am not ready for that yet.<\/p>\n With the sunshine returning I stopped at Kings Harbor on the way back into Kingwood and took these two photos. Seeing blue in the sky with some clouds was refreshing.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
