At the breakfast table I turned around to get a cereal box and knocked off a decorative glass bottle filled with oil and peppers. It hit the floor spilling broken glass and oil all over the floor. So much for starting today&#8217;s bike ride before 10am, I wanted to get biking early so I could get back to watch the Astros and Indians game.<\/p>\n<p>After cleaning up the mess and slipping across the title floor I finished breakfast and got ready to leave. Punching the start button on the Elemnt computer at 10:28 am I began on the &#8220;Atascocita &#8211; Huffman&#8221; route. I don&#8217;t ride this short route much but before I retired it was a regular. Because of the time limit I biked <strong>28.52 miles<\/strong> and boosted October to <strong>179.29 miles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t expect to see any other cyclists but four of them crossed my path. 3 of them were after 11 miles into the ride over Lake Houston and Old Atascocita Road.<\/p>\n<p>Only a brief stop at the Huffman Chevron for water and ice interrupted the ride back to Kingwood and finished the bike ride at 12:37 pm in time to watch the baseball game.<\/p>\n<p>Weather during the bike ride:\u00c2\u00a0start 87 (75% humidity), partly cloudy, wind SE 10 mph. Finish 89 (66% humidity), mostly cloudy, wind S 7 mph. The wind was tough getting to FM 2100 but after making the turn to the north on FM 2100 it became a tailwind helping ride faster with less energy.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday I plan on biking the Spirit Ride in Livingston, TX. The weather looks great with a low chance of rain and temperatures in the 80&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/18938802\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"45162\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/2018\/10\/05\/oil-spill-with-peppers-but-no-stopping-this-bike-ride\/10-5-2018-sporttracks-bike-ride-summary\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/10-5-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=1918%2C1028&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1918,1028\" 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;1538744999&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=\"10-5-2018 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\/10\/10-5-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=600%2C322&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/10-5-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=800%2C429&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-45162 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/10-5-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=1200%2C643&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"SportTracks Bike Ride Summary\" width=\"1200\" height=\"643\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/10-5-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?w=1918&amp;ssl=1 1918w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/10-5-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=640%2C343&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/10-5-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=600%2C322&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/10-5-2018-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=800%2C429&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\/1886007327\/embed\/7cbded1327a56e28fb311001ee9ee584a61933e2\" width=\"590\" height=\"405\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The morning didn&#8217;t go very well before I left on today&#8217;s bike ride.
