Today’s bike ride followed the “Atascocita – Walden – Huffman” route cycling south and to the east. It started at 11:05 am as I got a little later start than I wanted. Earlier there were some rain clouds in the area. Weather during the bike ride: start 84 (81% humidity), mostly cloudy, wind E 12 mph. Finish 88 (62% humidity), mostly cloudy, wind SE 13 mph. I biked 33.72 miles<\/strong> boosting October to 291.11 miles<\/strong>, 42% of the 700 miles<\/strong> goal for October.<\/p>\n

Nothing out of the ordinary during the bike ride except when I stopped at the Huffman Chevron to refill my water bottle the fountain dispenser and other fixtures were disconnected from what looked like cleaning and repositioning in the store layout. So I rode west to the Shell station on FM 1960 and refilled there.<\/p>\n

Wind presented a challenge as I biked to the east but after turning north on FM 2100 and then west on FM 1960 it became my friend. I finished the bike ride at 1:45 pm.<\/p>\n

Looking at the forecast for next week fall weather arrives with temperatures dropping and highs only in the 70’s and night time into the 60’s or 50’s. Hopefully this doesn’t curtail biking.<\/p>\n

This Saturday I plan on riding the Hero’s Ride in Conroe and the weather should be great for that.<\/p>\n
