Going across the McKay Causeway over Lake Houston was exciting particularly when I rode over the openings where the water passed through. At times I had to lean into the wind to compensate for the force pushing the bike in the other direction. This was intensified whenever a vehicle drove by and temporarily blocked the wind and then moved out the way to allow the wind to come back. Amidst this I met a rider on a &#8220;fixie&#8221; with the narrow straight handlebars. I imagine the short bars made steering in the wind a challenge. While the wind was high the temperature was a mild 88 degrees and mostly cloudy.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s ride statistics:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>miles = 23.23<\/li>\n<li>riding time = 1:36:27<\/li>\n<li>average pace = 4:09 min\/mile<\/li>\n<li>average speed = 14.5 mph<\/li>\n<li>average cadence = 76.4 rpm<\/li>\n<li>max cadence = 101 rpm<\/li>\n<li>climb 279 ft., descend 262 ft., max elevation 98 ft.<\/li>\n<li>May miles 267.60<\/li>\n<li>YTD miles 1667.41<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[nggallery id=39]<\/p>\n<p>[iframe http:\/\/connect.garmin.com:80\/activity\/embed\/33087747 465 548]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The weather service issued a wind advisory for today through 7:00 PM.
