After running some errands on Wednesday my plan was to go for a bike ride. That didn’t happen because while I ran the errands it started misting rain and didn’t stop until late last night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to day and the mist is gone, some clouds remained as I started getting ready to ride and by the time I left at 12:35 pm some sun broke through the clouds. While it wasn’t quite as warm as the forecast said 65 degrees and the appropriate amount of clothing made for a pleasant bike ride. The wardrobe for today’s bike ride: shorts, leg warmers, short sleeve jersey over a long sleeve thermal jersey, wind breaker jacket, and full finger gloves. For the first 15 minutes I felt chilly but the body heat kicked in I became comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I chose the “Atascocita South – Walden – Huffman” route and rode 32.37 miles<\/strong> boosting January to 196.71 mile<\/strong>s, 104 miles away from my goal of 300 miles<\/strong>. I saw two other cyclists during the ride: first on Pinehurst Trail on the way back to Kingwood and the second at Kingwood Drive across from Fuddruckers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the way back to Kingwood while crossing the San Jacinto River I stopped and took these photos of the dredging crew and boat removing sand from Hurricane Harvey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
